The well-renowned international beauty pageant that focuses on the promotion of the diverse heritage in the world is set to take place at the Kalahari waterfront Nandoni, Limpopo in South Africa on the 24th of September 2022. Speaking on the importance of the global pageant taking place in Limpopo, the CEO of Miss Heritage Global Mbofholowo Mbodi said, “We’re quite excited to bring the Miss Heritage Global pageant 2022 to South Africa and specifically Limpopo. As an individual who was born and bred in Limpopo, there is so much to see and experience in terms of our cultural heritage; and we want the world to experience the beauty of our heritage sites, cultures, food and the local communities because that is what Miss Heritage Global is all about – coming together to recognize and celebrate our unique cultures.”
The pageant is not solely focusing on the beauty of the queens. It’s also an opportunity for local communities in Limpopo to benefit in various ways. The co-founder of Miss Heritage Global Ronald Tisauke expressed that it hopes this pageant will help create jobs by engaging with different communities from different backgrounds to participate in the event.
“We are not just trying to be internationally recognised, but the point of this pageant is to also help marginalised communities and reshape their destiny if possible. So, a part of it is to also try to identify the gaps within societies and help where we can through the pageant,” he said.
