Mmathapelo needs the public’s votes
"As part of my journey in MTUSA I need support with voting to help me secure a spot in the finale to represent Limpopo on the national stage."
BURGERSFORT – A local lass, Mmathapelo Glad Malatji (16), is a semi-finalist in the Miss Teen Universe South Africa (MTUSA).
The girl from Ga Selala village told Steelburger/Lydenburg News that she is a rookie in the pageantry world, but she is hungry for accolades.
“MTUSA is my second pageant as I only joined the pageant industry in December 2020 when I competed in the Miss Burgersfort competition in which I was crowned a top-five finalist at first try.”
She said the reason she chose to participate in this competition is to lead and inspire others.
“I decided to enter MTUSA for the sole reason that I would like to be able to lead and inspire other people. Through the MTUSA platform and the prestigious title I believe that I will be able to make a change in my community, to be a positive role model and be an inspiration to my peers, as well as every other individual of my community.”
The grade 11 pupil at Calvin College said apart from modelling she enjoys drawing.
“Being the imaginative, artistic and creative person that I am, I also enjoy art, particularly pencil sketching. I spend my time writing and researching more about my advocacy, which is mental health awareness.”
Mmathapelo pleaded for support from the people of Limpopo.
“As part of my journey in MTUSA I need support with voting to help me secure a spot in the finale to represent Limpopo on the national stage.”
She added, “To vote, one can deposit any amount of money from R30 into a Capitec account linked number: 082 483 0290 and also share a proof of payment using my name, Mmathapelo Glad Malatji, as reference. Your support would be highly appreciated.”
