Local beauty crowned Miss Ballito 2018

Meet your 2018 Rotary Zimbali Miss Ballito.

It was an evening of glitzy fashion, beautiful girls and black-tie excellence as the 2018 Rotary Zimbali Miss Ballito was crowned last Friday night.

Judges and spectators were overwhelmed by the inner and outer beauty on display, but in the end only one lucky young lady could walk away with the coveted crown and this year the title went to Milan Dhaniram, with Rochelle van Eck first princess and Taniel Trueman second princess.

Co-ordinator Heidie Smith expressed her heartfelt thanks to everyone who came together to make the pageant a success.

“We thank you from the bottom of our hearts for being so generous with your time and hard-earned money, without all of you this competition would not be possible.”

Smith said she was always amazed at how willing the community was to get involved and hoped they would all join in again next year.

“Karen Landman, your kindness, generosity and overwhelming desire to help are hugely appreciated and I am immensely grateful that we are partners on this project every year.”
