Parting words from Mrs Africa Universe contestant
Carol will continue to prepare for the pageant next year.
Springs resident Carol Majola has bowed out of her journey to capture the Mrs Africa Universe crown after not making it through to the top 11 as a finalist.
In light of the news, Carol finds herself happy that she got to experience the journey at all.
She speaks humbly about the support the other finalists offered her and how they reminded her of their times together.
“This year felt right but at the same time, there was a lot on my plate that made the journey so much more challenging. I am grateful for the opportunity because it put me in the position where it opened certain doors for me.”

She touched on the confidence the experience has provided her and for doors of opportunity opening.
“People now know my name. I am blessed to have been part of many projects involving the youth in my little corner. I have been able to establish myself and cement my relevance when it comes to projects and initiatives that matter the most to me.
“All of this has helped me do the things I have always wanted to do, things that I am passionate about.
“People have reached out to me and asked if I am okay. I feel nothing but gratitude because I was able to make it this far. I can look at the top 11 and say those ladies are a part of me. I came out of that group, so that is precious.

“The ideas they carry with them on that stage and the talks we’ve had during our training and sessions, I am part of it.”
She added that she took home more than the promise of a crown.
“The knowledge that has contributed towards my growth is immense. I have taken more out of this journey than I would have bargained for.
“I have been gifted beautiful life lessons and a powerful sisterhood. I love the journey, what I have been taught and what I’ve been put through. Through it all there is victory.”
