Curvaceous women as a product are the latest attraction the Tourism ministry in Uganda is looking at to attract more tourists and increase revenue earnings.
Ms Ann Mungoma, the lead organiser for the beauty pageant, is optimistic that when these ladies flaunt their endowments, it will enhance the visibility and appreciation of Ugandan people.
Ms Mungoma also added that only those above 18 and below 35 will be considered.
“Miss Curvy is an event that will bring out the endowment of the real African woman. It is an exceptional event that will see young ladies showcase their beautiful curves and intellect.
Only those aged 18 and below 35 are eligible to participate.”

However things have taken a turn for the worst after they used the photo of Kenyan media personality Grace Msalame.
Below are some of the comments some from Ugandans who have expressed their disappointment
@NasasiraArnold Now Uganda #MissCurvyUganda model, @GraceMsalame is Kenyan, sincerely speaking how can someone foreign promote some thing Ugandan, may be it’s another scum to embezzling funds.
@ddungujoseph7 :This #MissCurvyUganda peagant notifies the rest of the entire world how much of a joke we are to the level of degrading ladies to mere tourist attractions. Ladies are dignified persons and the result of this peagant will be thirsty thigh mongers on the hunt for Ugandan ladies.
@albertmuc :I think the most embarrassing news about the #MissCurvyUganda campaign is that the model, @GraceMsalame, is Kenyan.
@WaisAdam #MissCurvyUganda and Uganda be how now that the campaign is for Ugandans or Kenyans cz @GraceMsalame is a Kenyan why is that our PR and strategists are failing to analyse the game #MyUganda
@TEAMNASA_KE :Ugandans Though, a whole state minister launched #MissCurvyUganda Campaigns to promote tourism, what tourism? And went ahead to use a Kenya Curvy lady @GraceMsalame in their official campaign posters. So Embarrassing, In Uganda there are Many ways of promoting Tourism.
