About 80 ladies turned up for the Ghana auditions of the Africa�s Next Top Model reality television show on Saturday. Held at the M Plaza Hotel in Accra, the hopefuls thronged the event venue with the sole purpose of making the final cut, and a chance to represent Ghana in the maiden edition, airing soon on free-to-air and pay-per-view television. Headed by Supermodel Oluchi, the ANTM team will in the coming days announce who among the lot has made it. Recording takes off in South Africa from August. �We chose South Africa to host the competition because considering the African continent, South Africa is about the only country with a well-structured fashion industry and very busy one because almost every province holds its own Fashion Week�, Oluchi says on why South Africa was chosen to host the reality show. Africa�s Next Top Model is the African extension of the very popular of America�s Next Top Model franchise owned by Tyra Banks.
