MISS SA Ndavi Nokeri is going to USA with all the blessings from her province, Limpopo.
She’ll represent South Africa at the 71 Miss Universe pageant.
The competition will be held on 14 January at New Orleans.
Limpopo Sports Arts and Culture MEC Nakedi Kekana has congratulated her, saying in a statement: “Miss South Africa, Ndavi Nokeri who hails from Tzaneen in Limpopo, will represent South Africa at the 71st Miss Universe Pageant on 14 January, which will be held in New Orleans. You go girl, you can only wear that crown once, just remember the little girls you left at your village in Tzaneen, that young girl in Soweto, KZN, Mahikeng, Cape Flats, the Free State, the Eastern Cape, Mpumalanga, and everywhere else in South Africa. Just walk with confidence and remember those girls,” said Nakedi.

“We are more likely to welcome Miss Universe around February here in Limpopo again. We are aware by then she will be representing the entire Universe, and that’s what we will be waiting for, because we are part of the global world,” she continued.
Ndavi received a hero’s welcome August last year after being crowned Miss South Africa.

The Limpopo provincial government, led by Premier Chupu Mathabatha and his MECs, welcomed her at gala breakfast and a street parade around Polokwane and Tzaneen, her home village.
The 23-year-old Ndavi is the third winner of the Miss South Africa pageant from Limpopo.
She follows in the footsteps of Shudufhadzo Musida, who was crowned in 2020, with the first having been Bokang Montjane-Tshabalala, who was crowned in 2010.
