Tensions Escalate Over Pageant Blogger Identity Amid Claims and Allegations in Tanzania

Tensions have erupted in Tanzania’s pageantry circles following a heated dispute concerning the identity behind prominent pageant blogging accounts. The controversy was initially stirred by Fashion Brunet, a known pageant commentator, who posted on Instagram Stories calling attention to hidden identities within the community. This post triggered a wave of responses, most notably from a Tanzanian-based pageant blog known as The Glamour International.

The Glamour International, whose operations are based in Tanzania, came under scrutiny after claims surfaced suggesting that its administrator is Jacaranda Malecela, a model residing in Dodoma. However, the situation quickly escalated when The Glamour International responded with counterclaims alleging that Eva Godwin, a respected model coach and the current Matron of Miss Grand Tanzania 2025, is the person behind the Fashion Brunet account. 

Following these accusations, Eva John Godwin began receiving widespread mentions and tags, linking her to the ownership of Fashion Brunet. The accusations set off a chain of reactions within the pageant community. Jacaranda Malecela later confirmed his own identity through a message sent to Eva Godwin, further fueling the fire. Multiple responses surfaced online backing the claim that Godwin was allegedly managing Fashion Brunet, leading to further online discourse.


The controversy intensified when criticism emerged surrounding the participation of Miss Grand Tanzania queens at club events. Several queens were seen attending celebrations for Yanga Day, a popular event hosted by one of Tanzania’s top football clubs. This led to questions as to why the same queens did not attend Simba Day, the rival club’s event. The public began to interpret this as a sign of bias or imbalance, raising concerns about favoritism within the Miss Grand Tanzania organization.

This analytical claim has now opened a wider conversation around neutrality and transparency in national pageant organizations. Followers and insiders have called on the Miss Grand Tanzania team to issue a formal response, addressing the growing speculation around both the blogger identities and the perceived preferential club affiliations. As tensions continue to mount, the community awaits clarity from the involved parties to restore unity and transparency in the Tanzanian pageant scene.
