Lalela Mswane to represent South Africa at Miss Supranational 2022


Miss South Africa Organization has officially announced that Lalela Mswane will be sent to the 13th edition of the Miss Supranational pageant.

The 24-year-old beauty was crowned Miss South Africa last October in Cape Town. She went on to participate in the 70th Miss Universe pageant last December in Israel and placed second runner-up among 80 contestants.

Miss South Africa CEO Stephanie Weil said, "We are super excited about this year’s edition of Miss Supranational and that Lalela will represent us at this prestigious event."

“We once again call on all South Africans to show their support and we believe she will make us all proud,” she added.

The new Miss Supranational South Africa is a proud Zulu woman who hails from KwaSokhulu, in Richards Bay, KwaZulu-Natal. She is a professional model, ballerina, and holds a law degree.

Miss Supranational 2022 is expected to be held in Poland this July, where Chanique Rabe of Namibia will hand over the crown to her successor at the end of the event.

Lalela will not be the first Miss South Africa winner who competed in more than one international pageant. Others were Jo-Ann Strauss, Megan Coleman, Tansey Coetzee, Bokang Montjane, Marilyn Ramos, and most recently Ntandoyenkosi Kunene.
