“Because of the purpose behind the pageant, I felt that it is a good platform to be able to reach more young people, I’m more passionate about touching more young people. I’m an educator, so I have seen the need for support and mentoring of young girls and boys justifying themselves and to be able to see that they are individuals that belong and can make a difference,” stated Nteboheleng.

The contestants all had to go through a series of tests to become finalists. These included being more active on social media to promote Miss Bachelorette South Africa, to be good ambassadors in their daily lives, and take part in the current queen’s tasks and charities, and interviews.
