Video/Photo: Miss Congo's Wig Catches Fire After Being Crowned Miss Africa 2018

Miss Congo emerged winner Thursday night at the 2018 Miss Africa beauty pageant and shortly after she won, her wig caught fire on stage.

Dorcas Kasinde, 24, beat other contestants to win the crown. Miss Nigeria came second while Miss Zambia came third.

As Miss Congo celebrated her victory and hugged her predecessor, her wig caught fire. Thankfully, Ebuka, the host, came to her rescue before more damage could be done.

It is believed the fire was caused by the stage flame positioned at various corners on the stage but social media users have jokingly blamed the incident on Calabar witches.
