Psssst! Tembisa gets a new queen
By Dumisani Hlatswayo
T
he 12th of November 2022 marked the crowning of a new Miss Tembisa. The 2022
grand finale of the Miss Tembisa Pageant took place at Kempton Park’s Civic Centre. Thabang P Modisha and Nonjabulo ‘Bree’ Maseko hosted the red carpet at the Grand Finale, along with Harmony Mbhele.
Emma Sibiya won the Miss Tembisa 2022/23 crown, Emma Mello was the first princess, and Nobuhle Chauke became the second princess. “Winning Miss Tembisa means my dreams are valid; it confirms that my financial background does not disqualify me. Being raised in a household with a single mother, I believed certain things were not for me I couldn’t afford them and therefore gave up before even trying,” Emma told The Olifants News. Since Sibiya has been actively involved in my community and various projects, she believes she has won people’s hearts and was already Miss Tembisa in their hearts even before the crowning. “I will introduce my leadership and management mentorship program in more high and primary schools. I will be helping smaller nonprofit organisations within Tembisa with their projects and acquiring funding. And also mentoring upcoming models within local pageants taking place in Tembisa,” Sibiya reveals. She walked away with a R10 000 cash prize, an evening wear dress from Kalahari Fashion Designs, a
wig and a French language short course worth more than R10 000 from Elite Beauty, monthly pampering from Golden House Beauty Bar for the whole year, and a gift box from Natural Organics worth R1200. The City Of Ekurhuleni Mayor’s Office and 3Six5 Insurance proudly sponsored the 1st Princess R5000, 2nd Princess R3000, Miss Congeniality, and R1500. Runnerups walked away with make-up products from Profuse Beauty Cosmetics, self-care hampers from Sibahle Events and Bath Salts, eyelashes and hair growth serum from Elite Beauty, and hair products from Maglow Hair. “They also win an all-expenses paid trip by Travelnarine, Sibahle Events, and Bath Salts, as well as Profuse Beauty Cosmetics. The Miss Tembisa Pageant would like to show gratitude and thank the sponsors for their impeccable support and kindness; the event wouldn’t have been possible without them,” the statement from organisers reveals. “The Miss Tembisa 2022/23 Grand finale was proudly sponsored by the City of Ekhurleni Mayor’s
office, 3Six5 Insurance, Straightline Pharmacy, Profuse Beauty, Maglow Hair, Golden House Beauty Bar, Sbahle Events and Bath Salts, Kalahari Fashions, Headquarters Lounge and Cocktail Bar, Travelnarine, Elite Beauty, Ten31 Creations, Khumbu’s Fabrics, Mabalaka hair studios, Natural Organics by uBuhle, and Yobaba,” the statement continues. The experience has demonstrated what it means to run a beauty pageant that empowers people within the organization, empowers everyone, and builds relationships with people’s interests at heart. “The Miss Tembisa Pageant is proud to have had such a beautiful and inspiring journey with everyone that was a part of it, from the management team, contestants, judges, especially the community and sponsors,” concludes the statement.
