Miss Fab 2015 crowned
People came out in numbers to witness the crowning of Miss Fabulocity Limpopo 2015 at Limpopo Guest Manor in Polokwane last Saturday.
It was the second edition of the pageant since its inception last year. The beauty pageant is aimed at celebrating plus-size women and encouraging them to embrace their bodies.
The theme for this year was “all white with a touch of colour”. Founder of the pageant Sewela Kgatla said she started the pageant because she grew up being teased for being “Big” and wanted other big girls to love their bodies the way they are. She added that she wanted plus-size women to feel beautiful from the inside out.
