Miss South Africa 2022, 64th edition of Miss South Africa, will be held in August 2022. Lalela Mswane of KwaZulu-Natal will crown her successor at the end of the event finale. The winner will represent South Africa at either Miss Universe 2022, Miss World 2022 or Miss Supranational 2023.

The organization announced Top 30 delegates who have begun their journey at the national contest. In a series of features, lets know more about these delegates. Zoey Seboe, from Midrand in Gauteng, has made it to Top 30.

Zoey Seboe is a 22-year-old beauty who was born with a rare skin condition called Lamellar Ichthyosis, which many mistake for burnt marks or eczema. Growing up, her family encouraged her to model, and would constantly tell her that she was beautiful.

However, her skin condition has not stopped her from chasing her dreams as the trailblazing model is currently studying for a Bachelor of Commerce in Law degree.

Zoey Seboe, on making it to Top 30 at Miss South Africa 2022, quoted, “For me, beauty is understanding that simply existing is enough. And beauty, to me, is also about embracing your heritage and being unapologetically oneself. Simply stepping in as the person you are. With every chance you get, tell yourself that you are beautiful and worth every space you find yourself in. It may take time, but you need to come out and be YOU."

“My goal is to inspire people to believe in themselves and to promote a fair representation of diversity and inclusion on platforms that help us define our collective and cultural narrative," added Zoey Seboe.

In a society that often has unrealistic standards about what beauty is, Zoey has not allowed people’s expectations and perceptions to define her. Through her reign, Zoey wants to break down barriers and open doors for young women and girls – not only in South Africa – but throughout Africa.
