 “I grew up watching the Miss SA pageant and Basetsana Kumalo was a great influence. Miss SA empowers young women and acts as an elevator for those wishing to follow their dreams and make a difference in our country. Being a judge allows me to make a contribution in helping someone realise their dreams, which is enough to make anyone content.”
