Miss SA tells Bay youth to dream big NCEBA DLADLA
“T
HE future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams”.
Sharing her favourite quote, by Eleanor Roosevelt, reigning Miss SA and former Port Elizabeth model, Ziphozakhe Zokufa (23), on Monday encouraged learners during her visit to her former schools in Nelson Mandela Bay. Recently returned from competing in the Miss Universe Pageant in Miami, Ziphozakhe (22) visited the schools she went to as a child accompanied by her mother, Feziwe Zokufa, is an educator. Among the schools visited were Willow Academy, an institution of the Word of Faith Ministries in William Moffett Expressway, Lorraine Primary School, Hill College and Ithembelihle High School in New Brighton where her mom is a teacher. During her visit to Willow Academy, where she studied Grades 1 and 2, Zokufa was greeted with much excitement and zeal by little children who were scrambling to take selfies with her. “She’s beautiful, talented and very smart,” said Karabo Orlyn (12) while Zoe Rob (13) observed that Zokufa “is so intelligent and down-to-earth. She doesn’t act like a celebrity.” This observation was also made by Ziphozakhe Grade 2 teacher at the school, Vanessa Janse van Rensburg who also commented that the beauty queen had amazing confidence that she did not see in her childhood. “I’ve come to say to aspirant models and hopefuls, it doesn’t matter where you come from. If you dream it, you can achieve it,” said Ziphozakhe Zokufa, who is a TV production student in Cape Town, was crowned the new Miss SA in December after Rolene Strauss won the Miss World title in London. Zokufa was her first princess. Among the first of her beauty pageant achievements was being crowned as Port Elizabeth Express Teen Miss PE in 2009. She said she relishes being crowned Miss SA which is a 24/7 job as the country’s ambassador who must espouse positive values to influence the youth. Ziphozakhe is based in Johannesburg for the duration of her reign which comes to an end in March with the crowning of the new Miss South Africa.
