Miss SA Shudufhadzo Musida gets a hero’s homecoming

The streets of Seshego, Polokwane were filled with joy and love yesterday when people gave newly-crowned Miss South Africa Shudufhadzo Musida a hero’s homecoming.

Her day started at Meropa Casino outside Polokwane for breakfast, where she spoke to the media. Then she paraded in a white Mercedes-Benz cabriolet, waving to the people lining the streets.

She said she liked her chiskop and preferred herself that way. “It saves me a lot of time. “The weaves look really good, but this is me and this is the way I look. It’s a bold decision for women to choose how they look.”

She said her crown was a big responsibility. “As Premier Stan Mathabatha said, I’m a mirror for village girls,” she said. Mathabatha said Limpopo, Vhembe District and himself were smiling because they have Shudufhadzo.
