Florence Kgwadi Mphago, Miss Royalty Queen, said they enjoyed themselves. Even though the work was too much for them, they managed to pull through.
“Being crowned my first queen title means everything to me because being a queen is not an easy title, and it requires a lot of work.
“I still need support and courage from my community and my coach, Teekay Malele. I also want to thank my mom, Johanna Mphago, and my family for everything.”
