Miss Mzansi International is a local modelling contest that aims to provide ambitious young models with the chance to break into the industry and show off their skills.
Mphahlele said she entered the competition to tell her narrative and demonstrate that she is more than ‘just a body’ and a beautiful person.
“My experience competing in Miss Mzansi has been fantastic, but it has also been a little challenging because I had to manage my schoolwork with the pageant activities.
“I’ve gained a lot of knowledge throughout my life, not only in pageantry.
“I’ve developed abilities like communication, leadership, teamwork, and time management that one could use to rule the world.
“I am confident that if I can carry these skills with me, I will succeed in anything I do.
“I firmly believe that the lessons I learned on my journey have illuminated my life’s mission.
