A South African teen won multiple awards at the “Miss Teenager Universe” pageant hosted in Panama.
Panama (02 May 2022) – Sune Meyer – a young South African teen from Thabazimbi – walked away with three awards at the “Miss Teenager Universe” pageant last night.
Miss Teenager Universe calls itself the “biggest and most important beauty pageant for teenagers from around the world”. Teens from around the globe spent the week in Panama preparing for the grand finale, which took place last night.
Monique Lightburn from the Bahamas took first place, while Miss South Africa took second! Meyer was also given the Best Body Special Award and crowned Miss Teenager African Continent.
“I would like to thank all my supporters, friends and family for their amazing support throughout my journey. Thank you to the Miss Teenager organisation for this wonderful opportunity that we could all experience the beautiful country of Panama; we were treated like celebrities. It was truly an honour to have been part of this experience and the amazing group of people behind it all.”
The experience has made Meyer more aware of the challenges South Africa faces, and in the past two years, the young teen has spent her time looking after the elderly, standing with young women fighting Gender-Based Violence (GBV), baking cupcakes for cancer, and collecting donations for the South African Woman Federation.
Massive congratulations! Let’s hope this new title – and awards – allow you to bring more positive change to your community.
