She thanked everybody who supported her. “I appreciate the support I received from Southern COURIER. For this, I am immensely grateful.

Miss Commonwealth South Africa runs and produces the Miss Commonwealth South Africa pageant annually. The nation-wide pageant runs over a seven-month period, in search of the winners across South Africa. The pageant focuses on charity, empowering young South African women to become change agents in their communities and bring about sustainable development in the country.
It’s a charity crown which creates a platform for the finalists, as well as winners to be ambassadors of change, and thus further achieve their own goals, fulfilling their dreams within the pageant, entertainment and business industries.
