Jolly Mutesi is a Rwandan model, a beauty pageant titleholder who was crowned Miss Rwanda 2016, an entrepreneur, a girl child rights activist, and an advocate for women empowerment. [1][2][3]
At age 20, Mutesi was crowned Miss Rwanda 2016. The runners-up were Peace Ndaruhutse Kwizera and Vanessa Mpogazi.[4]
Mutesi became the first beauty queen to represent Rwanda in the 2016 Miss World beauty competition at the MGM National Harbor, Oxon Hill, Maryland, United States.[5][6]
After fulfilling her reign as Miss Rwanda, Mutesi became a motivational speaker and entrepreneur.[7]
In 2022, Mutesi fell victim to a scam by convicted murderer and rapist Thabo Bester, who offered her a fictitious job in South Africa. After liaising with the Rwandan Ministry of Youth and Rwanda's High Commission in South Africa, Mutesi was informed the job opportunity was a scheme and was able to avoid the fraudulent setup.[8]
