Cape Town – Miss South Africa 2020 Shudufhadzo “Shudu” Musida has announced that she has made it to Miss World’s top 40.
Shudu, as she’s affectionately known, took to her Instagram page to announce the great news.
“I am so humbled to announce that I have made it to the @missworld Top 40. Going into this my biggest driver was beauty with a purpose and to have my project chosen as one of the winners is such an honour, but to have met the human embodiments of beauty with a purpose in the other contestants just made the journey that much more fulfilling. So to my fellow Miss World sisters thank you for sharing your hearts with me and the world. To my beautiful South Africa, Ndo livhuwa, it takes a village and it is our stories and your support that have led me to this point. To my Miss World family, thank you. I am so excited to be returning to Puerto Rico in March,” wrote Shudufhadzo in an Instagram post.
