Chileshe scooped the six-week preliminary competition which ended on May 31 and involved online polls and a panel of judges for Zambians both home and in the Diaspora.
Chileshe, a model and sports fitness student from Ndola, beat several other models to earn the title. She expressed her gratitude to those who voted for her.
"I firstly want to thank all of you for having the faith in me and supporting me in this journey. Each of your votes really did make a difference and through our persistance you have all helped me reach that position I have been working towards," she says.
