“The news has still not sunk in yet, I was overwhelmed and could not believe it. All 10 women were beautiful and unique in their own way.
“It was a tough competition and I was even more taken aback when I won Mrs Photogenic and Mrs Philanthropist. When my name was announced as the winner it took me a long time to get onto stage as I was congratulated back stage by everyone and could not hold back the tears. I was ecstatic and proud of my accomplishment and new the hard work and sacrifice that went into winning the title.

“I also had support from big brands like Mehmsaab, Rahista Gopal who was my personal stylist ( The face of Red Square), Thomas More College, Ansana, Fast Track Shopfitters, VNA Consulting, D & H Flooring, RMA Consulting and many more that helped me throughout my campaign. I would like to extend my heartfelt gratitude to you all and may you prosper from strength to strength, may God bless you all,” said Tracy.
