A former Miss Limpopo Heritage winner, Tshisima Andy Mudau, has emerged as one of the top 20 finalists in the Miss South Africa Heritage competition. Tshisima hails from Ha-Manavhela in Vuwani District.
The names of the finalists were announced on Sunday, 11 February. According to the founder of the competition, Mr Tondani Tshilande, Miss South Africa Heritage is more than just a pageant but is also a transformative project aimed at developing leadership, cultural enrichment, community development, and business acumen. The final event of the competition is scheduled to take place on 28 September this year at a venue in Gauteng.
The 22-year-old Limpopo finalist is currently a hospitality student at the Vhembe TVET College’s Makwarela Campus. “This is a stepping stone for my career as a model because I will be competing with other models from other provinces. I am happy to be here, and I want to win this competition,” she added.
Tshisima stated that her goal was not to be a supermodel but to be a role model for many other young girls. “I started modelling in 2021, but I didn't enter any competitions because I wanted to finish my matric first. In 2022, I entered the Miss Matsila Online Radio pageant, but I did not win. The same year, in April, I entered the Miss Limpopo Heritage pageant, and I ended up being crowned the queen,” she said.

Tshingondo (rhumba) music maestro Mu Africa Marko and the Big Machine have finally succumbed to pressure from his fans and released a new single.
The revival of Tshivenda traditional music is not just the pipe dream of some idealists. Judging by the turnout during a meeting held in Thohoyandou this past weekend, this form of music is about to undergo a major revival.
Tshivenda traditional-music lovers are in for a treat with a collaboration between Tshivenda traditional music legend and veteran Solomon Mathase and popular poet and guitarist Dzomo la Venda. The two were spotted on Saturday, 20 April, at a function in Thohoyandou where they showcased their talents during a live performance.
During a Sunday sermon, Bishop Johannes Muofhe of the World Mission Church’s Fondwe branch prophesied that a musician, someone other than a member of the worship team, would emerge from the church.
