Johannesburg, South Africa (31 October 2025)<\/em> \u2013 It\u2019s been a week wrapped in love for Qhawekazi Mazaleni after she was named<\/a> Miss South Africa in Pretoria last weekend. Not only for Qhawekazi, but for her loved ones too. The people who have supported her all along.<\/p>\n Becoming Miss SA comes with an outpouring of support from many South Africans who are proud of their new queen. Qhawekazi has gotten it from all angles this week. Receiving all the support has understandably made her very emotional. Her happy cries have spanned the stage where Mia first handed down the crown, to radio interviews where her gratitude for friends, family<\/a> and supporters has brought her to tears.<\/p>\n After days of soaking it all up, the beauty queen thought she could get through a full day without crying. That\u2019s until she received a message from her dad that brought back the waterworks…<\/p>\n His work colleagues had thrown him a party to celebrate Qhawekazi’s big achievement. The video of him arriving at work to discover the surprise is everything. First there is happy tears, and then there is dancing.<\/p>\n\n
