Ronnel Homu walked a way with R150 000 cash prize and other goodies.

She says that when her name was called to be part of the top five, it was a dream come true. “I was excited, shocked and humbled at the same time.

I hope to continue to inspire young girls and boys and educate them on the importance of education.

I thank everyone who supported me prior to the finals and also Dr Precious Motsepe and Patrice Motsepe for giving me such a platform.”

She also met her idol, TV personality, Bonang Matheba.

“It felt so surreal to see my idol standing in front of me.

Knowing that I made an impression on someone I look up to, was reassuring.”

Miss Mamelodi Sundowns was Kadija Makhanya from KwaZulu-Natal and the first princess was Pearl Tsehi from Gauteng.
