Help Samkelisiwe’s dream come true
Meet Samkelisiwe Ntuli, the 17-year-old Miss Global Princess 2025, who's breaking barriers and inspiring young women with her confidence, charisma, and determination.
Samkelisiwe Ntuli (17), the newly crowned Miss Global Princess 2025, is gearing up to represent South Africa on the international stage.
With her sights set on Paris in October, Samkelisiwe is preparing to showcase her talents, beauty, and charisma to a global audience.
“I’m humbled and overjoyed to share that I’ve won the Miss Global Princess 2025 title,” Samkelisiwe said. “This opportunity means the world to me, not only as a model but as a young woman who stands for empowerment, resilience, and purpose.”
Samkelisiwe’s journey to the top has been nothing short of remarkable. From a shy and introverted child to a confident and charismatic teen, she has come a long way. Her mother, who has been her biggest support system, has played a significant role in encouraging her to pursue her dreams.
“My mother is my biggest support system,” she said. “She has always been there for me, cheering me on and pushing me to be my best self.”
With a background in pageants, Samkelisiwe has won several titles, including Miss Teen Kasi Emalahleni, Miss World Radiance Teen, and MLTA SA Model and Miss MLTA SA Teen Winner for 2023.

She has also received awards for Best Future Leader in Community Development and Best Young Leader in 2024.
Her platform focuses on empowering young women to be independent, confident, and true to themselves.
She believes in the importance of self-confidence and perseverance, often quoting her favourite motto: “Our greatest weakness lies in giving up. The most certain way to succeed is always to try just one more time.”
As she prepares for the international stage, Samkelisiwe is still seeking sponsorships to cover her expenses, totalling R100 000, which will support her journey to Paris and her responsibilities as a titleholder.
“Your contribution, no matter the size, will bring me closer to carrying the SA flag with pride on an international stage,” she said.
