Khanimamba Chantel Masia, the reigning Miss Angelic 2022, is aiming to win the first annual Miss Elegance Limpopo title. The 18-year-old fashion and pageant model from Malamulele township has secured a place among the top 20 finalists in this beauty competition. The crowning of the queen will take place at the Polokwane Library Gardens on 30 September.
Since Masia entered the modelling industry in October 2020, she has achieved notable successes, winning several titles such as Miss Angelic 2022, Best Dress, Face of the Young Ideas Modelling Agency (Yima) 2023 (second princess), Miss Collins Chabani Photogenic 2023, and Miss and Mr NL Best Dressed 2023.
Masia is now focused on winning the inaugural Miss Elegance Limpopo pageant. She views it as a potentially life-changing opportunity and considers it a privilege to be part of this competition. Her aspiration is to use this platform to make a positive impact on the lives of the less privileged.
As part of their responsibilities, the finalists were assigned the task of collecting toiletries to donate to charity. However, Masia mentioned that local models faced a challenge in garnering support from the public. Despite the charitable nature of pageants, some people are hesitant to assist, assuming that the participants are merely playing around. Masia emphasised that the contestants genuinely care about helping the less fortunate and see pageants as a means to get involved and make a difference.
Masia humbly appeals to the public for support in her quest to win the competition by donating toiletries that will be given to charity organisations. Additionally, individuals can demonstrate their support by purchasing tickets to attend the Miss Elegance Limpopo event.
