From eMolweni to parading pageants, Likhona (16) and Ongama (13) Ndaba from Tholulwazi High School are the finalists for the upcoming Mr & Miss EThekwini Role Model 2024. They are no strangers to waving, tiaras, and sashes.
EThekwini Municipality organizes the event. On October 12, the Ndaba girls representing EMolweni will strut their stuff at the Pavilion Hotel, KE Masinga Road.
Apart from the beauty, spotlight, and pageants, both girls aim to encourage their peers to have confidence in everything they do. In an exclusive interview with VM Radio, Ongama said that being on stage gives her the freedom to express herself and not be apologetic about it. She believes that “you can be anything you want to be if you work hard”.The beautiful young ladies both hold prestigious titles in their names.
Likhona’s titles include Miss eMolweni 1st place princess, Miss Inkanyezi Queen 1st place Princess, and Miss Barbie
Photogenic. Whilst Ongama currently holds Miss Perfection 1st Place and Miss Barbie Personality.
The Ndaba girls are aiming to encourage other young girls from EMolweni that your background does not matter, but the sky is the limit. The girls are aware that they have a long journey ahead of them, but it is a path they want to take because it will lead them to greatness.
General tickets cost R250 but Sash holder pay R150.
