It’s been an exciting few days for Miss South Africa 2022 runner-up Ayanda Thabethe.
It has been announced that the forward-thinking 23-year-old will be representing her country as Miss Supranational South Africa at the pageant to be held in Poland on July 14; this is the same week that will see her launch her advocacy campaign Project Khulisa.
The goal of the project is to help communities struggling with food insecurity, while also initiating critical discussions around nutrition and the country’s double burden of malnutrition and obesity.
Thabethe is delighted to be the South African representative at Miss Supranational: “I have some big shoes to fill. Miss South Africa 2021 Lalela Mswane is the reigning Miss Supranational and she in turn took the crown from Miss Namibia Chanique Rabe. I am looking forward to this next step in my journey. However, just as important to me is the launch of Project Khulisa which I hope will make a difference in communities who need it most.”
Thabethe has always been passionate about food security and nutrition and was in her final year of a BSc in Dietetics and Human Nutrition at the University of KwaZulu Natal when she entered the pageant last year.
This pageant started in 2009 and is always held in Poland. South- Africa joined the pageant in 2021 when Thato Mosehle was crowned second runner-up.
