Lola-Hope Myburgh has added another achievement to her growing list of accomplishments after being crowned Miss Teen All Star South Africa 2026.

The young South African will now have the honour of representing the country internationally when she travels to Peru, South America, next year for the international competition.

For Lola-Hope, the opportunity is about much more than wearing a crown. She sees representing South Africa as an opportunity to celebrate the country’s diversity, culture and resilience while using her platform to make a positive difference.

“Representing South Africa internationally means carrying the heart, diversity and resilience of our rainbow nation onto a global stage,” It is an incredible honour to be an ambassador for our culture, our people, and the warmth and strength that define us as South Africans. To step onto an international platform representing my country is a dream come true,” she said.

She hopes to use the opportunity to showcase the spirit of South Africa while continuing to speak about causes that are important to her.

“I am so passionate about using this opportunity not only to showcase our nation’s grace and spirit, but also to continue advocating for the causes closest to my heart, from empowering vulnerable children to making a lasting, positive impact,” she said.

Her new title marks another important milestone in her journey and allows her to take her message beyond South Africa’s borders.

As she prepares for Peru, Lola-Hope will not only be representing herself, but also the people and communities who have supported her journey. She hopes to make South Africa proud while using the international platform to inspire young people and create meaningful change.
