Devland teen wins big at World Imperial Beauties international pageant

South Africa’s rising stars from World Imperial Beauties South Africa (WIBSA) shone brightly on the international stage as all six delegates placed in the Top 5 of their categories at the recent World Imperial Beauties International Pageant.

Their performances were further highlighted by a sweep of optional category wins, including casual wear, spokesmodel, top model, national costume, cultural performance, rising star talent, and best interview.

At the heart of this triumph is Natacia Mokoena (17) from Devland, an informal settlement south of Johannesburg, who made the nation proud by claiming the coveted WIB Teen International title.

Among her many prizes is a life-changing international cruise across four countries, including Italy and Argentina – a powerful testament to how WIBSA transforms dreams into destiny.

WIBSA’s top-placing queens include:

• Khavharendwe Marubini – first princess, Junior Miss

• Thembelihle Masina – first princess, Junior Teen

• Zinhle Hadebe – second princess, Pre-Teen

• Tshegofatso Tsoeu – second princess, Teen

• Unarine Mahafha – third princess, Teen

This extraordinary performance showcases WIBSA’s commitment to empowering females aged four to 50 and above, offering a platform that goes far beyond pageantry to promote self-development, international exposure, and scholarship-based opportunities.

The journey continues at the WIBSA 2025 National Finale, taking place on October 11 at ANEW OR Tambo Hotel in Benoni.
