Adah Mushibi Gears Up to Represent Zambia at Miss World 2026

Newly crowned Miss World Zambia 2026, Dr. Adah Mushibi is intensifying her preparations as she gets ready to represent Zambia at the 73rd Miss World Festival, which will be held in Vietnam from August 9 to September 5, 2026.

Adah, a medical professional with a bachelor’s degree in clinical medicine, was crowned Miss World Zambia earlier this year. Her victory earned her the honour of carrying the Zambian flag on one of the world’s biggest beauty pageant stages.

Since winning the crown, Adah has been preparing in different areas, including public speaking, fitness, runway training, cultural presentation, and community service. She has also been actively promoting Zambia while encouraging young people to believe in themselves and pursue their dreams.

One of the key parts of her Miss World journey is her Beauty With A Purpose project. Through the Evans JR Foundation, which she established in memory of her late brother, Adah continues to support vulnerable children and give back to communities. Recently, she visited Chongwe Primary School, where she spent time with learners and reaffirmed her commitment to making a positive difference.

As Zambia’s representative, Adah hopes to build on the country’s recent success at Miss World. In 2025, Zambia’s representative Faith Bwalya reached the Top 40 and won the Head-to-Head Challenge, raising expectations for another strong performance.

Speaking after her coronation, Adah expressed gratitude to everyone who supported her journey and promised to wear the crown with humility, purpose, and pride. She said representing Zambia on the global stage is a great honour and responsibility.

With just weeks before the international competition begins, many Zambians are rallying behind Adah Mushibi, hoping she will make history and showcase the country’s beauty, culture, and compassion to the world.
