Miss World South Africa 2020 Shudufhadzo Musida is all set to rock her bald look at the upcoming edition of Miss World. During a live session with Miss South Africa creative director Werner Wessels, she answered questions regarding her participation in the competition.

When Shudufhadzo was crowned Miss South Africa, everyone praised her to follow in the footsteps of Miss Universe 2019 Zozibini Tunzi. Zozibini conquered the Universe with her natural hair and stunning look.

 

 

“I'm going to Miss World bald. This is the look guys, like I tell you all the time; it's cheap, it's quick and I quite like it”, she said. Wessels, the director, also added, “Also, the world would kill me if I put her on a wig. That is not gonna happen. This is Shudu, this is how the country came to know her and love her and appreciate her.”

Musida wishes to follow in the footsteps of Rolene Strauss who became the third South African woman to win Miss World in 2014. “That was such a big moment, thank you for inspiring so many of us including myself. I can't wait to take the Miss World stage. You set a good foundation for us,” Shudufhadzo said of Rolene's win.

 

 

Shudufhadzo said she will use her platform to advance mental health awareness. “Purpose is something that takes a long time to unfold, but thankfully we know that we're on the right trajectory to our goal ... [My beauty with the purpose project] is mental health. We've been talking about mental health since the [Miss SA] finale. We are focusing on mental health and one of my biggest goals is to not only destigmatise it locally but globally as well”, she said.
