She hails from Ha-Masia in Limpopo and is currently doing her BA Honours in International Relations at the University of Witwatersrand.
Musida also holds a Bachelor of Social Sciences degree in Philosophy, Politics, and Economics from the University of Pretoria.
She will receive R1 million in cash as well as a further R2 million worth of sponsorships and prizes, including the use of a luxury Sandton apartment and a Mercedes-Benz cabriolet for a year.
The first runner-up was medical doctor Thato Mosehle (25) from Klerksdorp in the North West who received R250 000 in cash.
Second runner-up Natasha Joubert, a B.Com graduate from Pretoria, collected R100 000.
Organisors said it will also be the first time that the trio would represent the country at the world’s three most prestigious pageants, Miss Universe, Miss World, and now also Miss Supranational.
“It will only be revealed at a later date which contestant will go to which pageant.”
