Honest SAPS member, Kwena Nkgoeng, is stepping away from her desk and onto a national stage as a contestant in the prestigious Miss South Africa Disability Pageant to champion disability rights and inclusion.
Polokwane, South Africa (11 April 2025) – Pushing the limits and trying new things is what drives Kwena Vinolia Nkgoeng to not only be a member of society but also be a powerful voice for disability rights and inclusion.
Currently working as a member of the SAPS at Limpopo Provincial Office, where she serves in the Finance Expenditure and Salary Division and assists with administrative duties, Kwena is stepping into the spotlight as a contestant in the prestigious Miss South Africa Disability Pageant.
For Kwena, the pageant represents more than a personal ambition; it is a mission to break down stereotypes and celebrate the strength and beauty in diversity.
“I entered this pageant to advocate for disability rights, promote inclusion, and inspire others. Beauty is not confined by physical ability. People with disabilities deserve a place on every stage, be it in society, service or pageantry,” she says.
Kwena is guided by her personal motto “Impossibility is found in the dictionary of fools” to promote inclusion and empower others and credits her strength to her loving parents and a close-knit group of friends, whose support fuels her determination.
“My message to the world is simple: never limit yourself. Always try new things, even when the odds are against you,” she adds.
Her courage and passion have already garnered recognition, with her superior, Lieutenant General Thembi Hadebe, Provincial Commissioner of SAPS in Limpopo, praising Kwena:
“Administration Clerk Kwena is the embodiment of courage, resilience, and service. She reminds us that the power to lead, inspire, and transform lies not in physical ability, but in the strength of one’s spirit. She carries the SAPS flag with pride, and now, she wears the crown of inspiration for many.”
Kwena embodies the hopes and dreams of countless individuals as she prepares to grace the Miss South Africa Disability stage, and we wish her all the best in her powerful endeavour!
