Panashe Zhaware, 21, is alleged to have walked the ramp
in a full-length fuchsia pink dress with a revealing split all
the way up the front.
Photos surfaced this week of the Harare Polytechnic student at the event, which was apparently held at the end of last term in July.
The official Herald newspaper said that Zhaware
"intentionally wore her evening gown without her
undergarments".
"It is the state's case that the incident was captured on
camera," the Herald said.
The student has been charged with public indecency and
was granted $100 bail at a court appearance on Monday.
She denied the allegations.
Local tabloid H-Metro said in a report at the weekend that
the principal of the polytechnic, Tafadzwa Mundondo, and
nine other models had also been taken in for questioning,
as had the organisers of the pageant.
Mundondo said he was not involved in any way, according
to H-Metro.
"That was a function in July and we have not been aware
[of the indecent exposure]. It was a students’ function and
we had nothing to do with it. They inform us of what they
will be doing. This is one of the isolated cases that
happened at the college," he told the paper.
There were unconfirmed reports that the other nine
models also wore no underwear after being told to take off
their pants "to catwalk properly on the ramp".
There were
also claims that photos of other students were deleted.
Zhaware has been told not to interfere with state witnesses
and to stay at the address given to police, the Herald said. -News24
