Miss Supranational South Africa Ayanda Thabethe has paid tribute to Miss Supranational winner Andrea Aguilera of Ecuador who was crowned the 14th Miss Supranational by outgoing queen Lalela Mswane of South Africa.
Miss Supranational 2023 took place at the Strzelecki Park Amphitheatre in Nowy Sącz, Poland this weekend.
Pint-sized powerhouse Thabethe made the Top 24 at the pageant finale, was named Miss Congeniality and was placed in the Top 5 of #suprachat 2023.
Said Thabethe: “Congratulations to Andrea on her win. I wish her everything of the best during her reign and I know she’s going to be a wonderful Miss Supranational. I also want to thank South Africans for their overwhelming support and wonderful messages. I have loved every minute of my Miss Supranational journey and I hope I have made you all proud.”
Says Stephanie Weil, CEO of the Miss South Africa Organisation: “We are incredibly proud of Ayanda and how she represented the Miss South Africa Organisation and the country on a world stage. Her performance throughout the competition was impressive and we are looking forward to welcoming her home.”
Thabethe’s spectacular Miss Supranational finale evening gown was designed by Juan Visser of the brand Juan William Aria and took its inspiration from the African sun and its glorious rays. Another outfit shown during the competition preparations was designed by Khosi Nkosi.
Miss South Africa is presented by Weil Entertainment in association with Sun International. SABC3 is the official broadcast partner.
