The First Miss Tanzania (Theresa Shayo)



Some call her The First Miss Tanzania...BUT that is not true...she was the last Miss Tanzania in 1967 when Miss Tanzania was not affiliated with Miss World....and she was the last one because after her era,Miss Tanzania was banned until 1994....reason being,it went against Tanzanian culture...



The contest took place at The Kilimanjaro Hotel...and among 9 contestants, she won the title. Theresa Shayo passed away in 2007 in Munich Germany were she was living...and died of stomach cancer.

We first need to identify what the elements are that make up the weather. Eight primary elements/factors drive all weather: 1. Temperature 2. Air(Atmospheric)Pressure 3. Wind(Speed&Direction) 4.
