Just two weeks ago, we had the pleasure of speaking to Bajabulise Thela as she shared her dreams, purpose, and determination ahead of one of the biggest moments of her life. This morning, she's back, but this time, it's a celebration.
On 18th of July, Bajabulise was crowned Miss African Beauty Universe 2026, earning the honour of representing South Africa on the Miss Universe stage. We catch up with her to jubilate in this incredible achievement, relive the emotions of crowning night, reflect on what has changed in just a matter of days, and look ahead to the exciting journey that now awaits her. From a dream shared on our airwaves to a crown won on the national stage, today we celebrate a woman whose story continues to inspire Mpumalanga and the country at large.
