Her passion doesn’t end on set. As she looks toward the world of pageantry, Luyanda’s goals are equally purpose-driven.
“Miss South Africa isn’t just a crown to me; it’s a calling,” she says. “It’s a platform to serve my country, to be a voice where it matters.”
While many contestants chase multiple pageant titles, Luyanda’s loyalty lies with one.
“This will be the only pageant I pursue,” she says firmly.
