9. The Contestants aver that the MMNO Co. Ltd have unreasonable failed in their
obligations to promote the Pageantry.

Organise

10. The MMNO has a duty to organise the Pageant. The Contestants aver that organise also
mean reasonable preparation and planning. The Contestants aver that there has been
no reasonable planning of organisation for the following reasons:

a) Very often meetings are fixed without giving 24 hours notice.

b) The representatives of the MMNO Co. Ltd. are always late.

c) There is no advance notice given for the subject of the meeting or activity.

d) An absolute absence of professionalism.

e) The Miss Elegance contest was organized in a bar after happy hour where a lot
of the members of the public were drunk and rude. Miss Mauritius 2016 was
even insulted during her address.

f) Some of the contestants were humiliated.

g) Apart from the Henessy Hotel the Contestants were not provided with a meal and
worst not even a bottle of water.

h) Four of the contestants spent a whole day in a gym for a supposed professional
photo shoot but instead a photographer took pictures on his mobile phone. The
photos were so poor in quality that the Contestants had to spend another whole
day in Caudan for a second photo shoot.

Caudan Waterfront shoot

11. During the Caudan waterfront shoot only on a Friday was the photoshoot confirmed for
Saturday morning at 8am, with makeup and hair already done. When the Contestants
 arrived, no photographer was there until 11:30 a.m. They had to wait, no food or drink was
provided, when they tried asking to go buy food or when the session would start, Mrs
Primerose Obeegadoo (the President/National Director of the MMNO) was very rude
towards us.

12. She was herself as usual late.

13. Miss Serina Soobaroyen made a request to the Photographer one Mr. Manglaviti who
was rude to her.

14. The Same Manglaviti sat as a member of the Jury for the Miss Elegance and the Miss
Talent Contests. After the Miss Elegance contest she told Miss Soobaroyen that he
penalized her for the Caudan Waterfront incident. She admitted to it and apologized but
said that it was a game for him.

15. The aforementioned facts amount to breaches of the MMNOs obligation to organise the
pageant.

16. Miss Donna Kim Soo arrived for photo shoot at Caudan and left at 15:30 she was not
allowed to buy food and was had to get some food by leaving unnoticed.

Ill-treatment

17. The contestant are generally ill-treated and abusive language is used even in public. The
organisers are patronizing showing no respect for the contestants.

18. In the event any of the Contestants would voice their opinion or express their
disagreement they are humiliated.

Professionals

19. The MMNO Co. Ltd has an obligation to provide professional trainers and coaches under
the Miss Mauritius National Beauty Pageant 2017 Handbook, Rules and Regulations
(the Handbook). The relevant part reads as follows:

B. REHEARSALS

Throughout the pageant period, there will be many rehearsals to ensure that
you are comfortable with the stage patterns you will be performing during the
preliminary show and telecast. These rehearsals are hard work, but
necessary. The people guiding you through your rehearsals are highly
 respected professionals who know exactly what it takes to make you
look your best. Your success and stage confidence will depend upon your
willingness to BE COOPERATIVE. Please listen to directions, follow
instructions, and BE ON TIME.

[Emphasis is ours]

20. No professional was provided for the rehearsals in breach of the MMNO Co. Ltd.
Obligations.

21. The talent and elegance contest were rehearsed same day only a few hours before the
competition.

22. Miss Yukti Gopal had to organise her own show with absolutely no assistance from the
MMNO.

23. The first paragraph on Security in the Handbook reads as follows:

G. SECURITY

Security will be extremely tight during the pageant period. Officers will be with
our group at all times, including backstage, dressing room areas, and at your
hotel. This is done for your comfort and safety so please cooperate with all
security personnel.

24. The MMNO has also beached the obligation to provide security. No security was
provided for during the events. During the Miss Elegance night a drunk member of the
public grabbed Miss Serina Soobaroyen her Friends had to intervene.

25. During the Miss Elegance contest the Contestants had to stand cramped throughout the
evening amongst members of the public most of whom were drunk.

26. The Miss Elegance contest was organized in a Bar during Happy Hour where a lot of
those present were drunk. There was no one to ensure the Security of the Contestants.

Competence and qualification of the members of the Jury

27. During the Miss Elegance and Miss Talent Contests the members of the Jury had no
competence and qualification to judge the Contestants.
 28. After the Miss Elegance contest the MMNO was confronted with all the complaints by
the Contestants as the result was appalling and rejected by the audience.

29. Mr. Kevin Obeegadoo Vice President of the MMNO then announced to the Contestants
that the Miss Talent contest was declared invalid and void. However as of 11 am today
none of the other contestants have been informed of the MMNOs decision.

Sponsors

30. Despite having a number of sponsors for the Pageant the Constestants did not benefit
from any assistance. They had to get their own transport, meals (exception as
aforementioned), dress, shoes, training , coaching and all other accessories.

31. In spite of the above the Constestants were asked to thank the sponsors on their
respective Facebook pages.

Withdrawal

32. We the Contestants are withdrawing from the Pageantry due to the aforementioned
breach from the MMNO Co. Ltd.
