Lalela Mswane has done it, she set off to fly the South African flag at the Miss Supranational pageant, and she walked away with the crown and 2022 title!
South Africa (18 July 2022) – Lalela Mswane is now a two-time international title winner within the pageant world, having been crowned Miss South Africa in 2021 and now earning the crown and title of Miss Supranational for 2022.
Mswane set off for Poland in late June to represent South Africa at the pageant and has done what she intended, to fly the flag high for her beloved country.
25-year-old Mswane was born in Richards Bay, in the KwaZulu-Natal province of South Africa. Her father, Muntu Mswane, was an Eswatini-born former diplomat and minister who died in 2010, while her mother, Hleliselwe, worked as an accounts clerk and homemaker. She is the youngest of three children, having an elder brother and sister. After completing her secondary education at Pro Arte Alphen Park in 2015, Mswane enrolled in the University of Pretoria, later graduating with a Bachelor of Laws degree.
Miss Supranational was established in 2009 and has become a highlight on the pageant calendar. Last year was the first time South Africa took part in the event. Thato Mosehle earned second place in the event, with neighbouring Namibia’s Chanique Rabe earning the crown.
The pageant started on the 15th of July 2022. Mswane is now the first South African to have earned the title of Miss Supranational. Take a look at the winning moment below.
