The event, the brainchild of former first princess in the Miss Skhila Secondary School pageant in 2018, Hazel Maditsi, was held at Kellysville Primary School on Saturday.

Cassandra Maoko (17) and Promise Mhlanga (21) were named the first and second princesses.

For being crowned the queen, Morura’s winning package included a R2 000 cash prize and a diary. The first runner-up won R1 000 cash and a diary, while the second runner up pocketed R500 and a diary.

The public choice, the entrepreneur, and the advocacy queens also won hampers and vouchers worth R100 each.

The three queens satisfied the judges’ panel that was comprised of Mammelo Malatji, Shemy Molangwane and Sharmagne Maditsi.

According to Maditsi, everything went according to plan on Saturday.

“I’m very excited. I never imagined it would work out the way I planned it. I received overwhelming support from my community, family and friends. Although it wasn’t easy, we managed to make it happen in the end. To the sponsors of the competition, such as BNM Entertainment, Longtom SPAR, I-Glow Media Studios and Emmanuel Monareng of Mash FM, thank you so much.”

There is no time to rest, as she is already planning the second installation of Miss Thaba Chweu. “Our plans include photoshoots, charity work and school visits to motivate the girls. Also to open auditions for the next year’s competition.”

Her message to young girls: “Beauty is not about having a pretty face, it’s about having a pretty mind, pretty heart and pretty soul.”
