The reign of Miss South Africa 2022 Mndavazi ‘Ndavi’ Nokeri has ended following the recent Miss South Africa 2023 competition which was held on Sunday, August 13, in Pretoria’s SunBet Arena where Natasha Joubert was crowned Miss SA 2023.
Since then, the former Miss South Africa has taken to social media to express her gratitude to those who have supported her on her journey.
“Last year, I took a leap of faith, I left everything that was familiar to me, to follow my dreams of serving my beautiful country, South Africa. Every sacrifice has been worth it. We truly cannot say that we are moving forward as a nation, while half of the country gets left behind, And through Ed-Unite we have been able to bring up more people with us,” she wrote.
She added: “My heart bursts with pride when I think of the lives that have been touched through it. I want to say thank you to the Miss South Africa organization, for trusting me with this crown and the space to raise the south African flag up high. You’ve given me the opportunity to fully face my power.”
The former beauty queen ended off by thanking her parents along with her supporters.
“To my parents and my siblings ni khensa rirhandzu ra nwina. Thank you for always believing in me. I live a life courage because of you. To my broader family, friends and my amazing support structure, thank you for being my pillars. My story would be different without you. But most importantly, I want to thank God for His faithfulness through every step of my journey.”
“South Africa, thank you for opening up your arms to me and embracing me.
Ndza Khensa,” she concluded.
