In Xhosa we say, enkosi In Luganda we say, mwebale With that said, I want to say enkosi, mwebale, thank you to @official_misssa for this opportunity. Most people don't know this, but this is my third time entering Miss SA. In 2016 & 2018 I didn't even make it past the first judging round and I was devastated. Clearly I can't take a hint because here I am again!! I'm so happy I didn't give up because this girl from eGcuwa is in the Top 15! Thank you so much for all the love & support you've shown me. I'll call on you soon to help me get into the Top 10, please stay on the lookout for voting details.

"Wow,look at God" Those were the immediate words I uttered when I heard: "congratulations you've made it through to top 15." I kept composure. Put down the phone, And immediately cried while shaking and thanked God through prayer. What an achievement it is for me, the last time I entered in 2017, I made top 25, this year we are sitting in top 15. This is validation of my growth, and time to speak on what is important to me and what could benefit the country, communities and individuals. A huge thank you to the @official_misssa organization for the platform to belive in our dreams and chase it. Thank you to the judges for hearing my answers and recognizing my light. Then thank you to each and everyone of you who have continued to believe in me. Thank you for the messages. Likes. Comments and posts. Congratulations to the other 14 women who also progressed.
