Emotions of great excitement and gratitude played out as the community of Chiawelo came out in large numbers to celebrated and welcome Tsakane Sono back home.

“This feels like it’s their win and everyone is so happy. Even during the week I’ve had people telling me that I have put Chiawelo on the map, it makes me so emotional because this is not only my victory ours,” said Tsakane Sono Miss Soweto 2022.

Since antiquity, processions, pageants, parades have been one important way of making communal bonds visible, and pageant queens have always played a significant role in making these celebrations a victory for all.

According to Tsakane, she has never perceived herself as a pageant queen or fitting in the world of pageantry. This is all because of the stereotypical norms around what constitute beauty and worthiness of the crown.

“I wanted to challenge these stereotypes of beauty and body shape.

“So that one day another girl that looks likes me should feel pretty enough to stand on platforms like these and follow in the of those women who have paved a way for us,” Tsakane explained.

Friends and family had a lot to say about their queen since they have always been part of her upbringing and growth. Only reachable fruits can live out the blessings that they receive from their elders.

Claudia Sono, Miss Soweto’s mother sates that, “Right from primary Tsakane was a leader and has always been an over achiever. At church she’s a youth leader, she leads the worship team as well.”

“Where you meet Tsakane, you meet a leader who puts effort to everything she does. Today I am blessing her and releasing her to go and serve Soweto,” she added.

Tsakane left words of inspiration and motivation to the youth of Soweto. “Never be limited to a township mindset.

“Give yourself yes, the most powerful yes you can ever receive is a yes from yourself. If no one else validates you, validates yourself and always bet on yourself,” she concludes.
