“This is the same platform where I started. To be able to come back as a coach to this cohort has been an amazing journey because the pageant is not just about beauty and glamour, but rather about forging a sisterhood.
It is about empowering young women to make a positive impact in their communities.
This pageant provides an amazing platform for young girls to develop confidence, leadership skills, and a sense of social responsibility,” added Modelling Coach, Lisa Mabote.
The duo pleaded for additional sponsors and monetary donors to come on board and help the young girls and the pageant to become Soweto’s success story.
“We decided to bring back the beauty pageant because we are passionate about helping young and well driven women make a difference in their communities.
“We as a team would like to see the pageant grow beyond Meadowlands and broaden the vision with the support of local businesses,” they concluded.
