The judges had to disqualify after it emerged that she had bleached her skin.

The 2017 auditions for the Miss Ghana pageantry witnessed drama on Monday August 28, after a light skinned lady was turned away by the judges.

The annual pageantry is currently in its preliminary stages, with contestants from the various regions slugging it out to make the final list.

The audition process in the Western Region witnessed drama after the judges disqualified a young lady on the basis that she had bleached her skin.

A report by Joy news indicates that the said ‘light skinned’ lady came for the auditions very prepared, and exhibited eloquence and confidence, but failed to make the cut because she had tempered with her skin.

Despite admitting that she had bleached her skin, she explained to the judges that she had no idea that a cream she bought from a cosmetologist could have such effect.

She pleaded with the jury to allow her contest, explaining that she had even stopped using the ‘bleaching’ cream.

However, her pleas were turned down by the judges, who said they had no choice than to disqualify her due to her bleached skin.

The grand audition for the 2017 Miss Ghana pageantry – dubbed Miss Ghana@60 – will be held in Accra after qualified ladies have made it through their various regions.

Six ladies have already made it from the previous auditions in the Volta Region, with five more being chosen after the screening process in the Western Region.

The Miss Ghana pageantry is the oldest in the country, having spanned decades since it was first staged.
