Speaking to Northglen News, Makka, said to her, this is more than just the semi final round of a beauty competition.

Her mother Elaine Norris attested Makka’s passion for helping others.
“When we lived on a farm in Ladysmith where she grew up, Tisha would be out at night with her father, assisting villagers even in cold rainy weather,” said Norris.
Makka is also a member of the New Covenant Fellowship Church in Redhill.
Asked about how being a mother has played a role in her journey as MRS SA semi finalist, a joyful Makka said she would have not made it this far without her children’s support.
“Being a mother is a beautiful challenge which has groomed me to put others before myself. My children always motivate me to do my best in everything I do. Their support through this journey is what keeps me going,” she said.
