She is doing this while preparing to represent South Africa at the Little Miss Africa continental pageant in Nairobi, Kenya, from March 29 to April 4, 2026.

One of her key initiatives is the Little Angels of Hope pageant, a charity-driven event she founded to raise funds for children’s welfare organisations and education programmes. Beyond fundraising, the pageant serves as a nurturing space for young girls and boys to develop confidence, explore their talents, and acquire valuable life skills. Through personal development, self-expression, and community engagement, participants are encouraged to become future leaders and socially conscious citizens.

Sbahle’s commitment extends further, with hopes to support groups such as Operation Bobbi Bear, Uthingo Crisis Centre, Ephphatha Orphanage, and Mother of Peace, organisations that provide essential care, protection, and hope for children in need. Her involvement aims to amplify their impact through fundraising, awareness campaigns, charity drives, donations, and volunteer visits. Her efforts are already being noticed. On November 1, Sbahle was honoured at the Sakha Isizwe Community Awards, recognising her dedication to community upliftment.
