TZANEEN: Miss Teen Limpopo talks all things sanitary
The reigning Miss Teen Limpopo, Munene Dzavana is on a mission to help a girl-child succeed at school through her pad campaign.
Collaborating with the First Lady of Greater Tzaneen Municipality, Precious Mangena and Absa Bank as the main sponsor, Dzavana recently visited Masungulo Primary School in Nkowankowa and Matimu Primary School in Petanenge Village, where she donated pads to over 100 learners.
“Many of these learners cannot afford to buy sanitary pads, instead during their periods they stay home and miss few a days of class.
“As a result, it impacts negatively on their progress at school, this campaign strives to prevent such things from happening,” explained Dzavana, when asked about her inspiration for the initiative.
During the visit she was accompanied by fellow pageant queens, Mary Phambani, First Princess of Miss Teen Greater Tzaneen Royal Nobility and Pretty Mthembi, Miss Teen of the Evangelical Presbyterian Church in South Africa.
In total she has donated to five schools including Pherehla Secondary School, Maluti Secondary School and Kelekeche Secondary School, all the high schools learners also received calculators.
The beauty queen will represent Limpopo at the Miss Teen Mzansi South Africa in December at Emperors Palace.
She concluded by thanking the first lady of GTM and Absa bank for all their support.
