1. Favourite scary movie?
Truth is, I don’t watch scary movies, I don’t have the stomach for it! However, I do love watching true crime documentaries about pretty gruesome stories. Does that count? [laughing]
2. Favourite social media influencer?
Mpoomy Ledwaba has to be at the top of my favourite social media influencers list. She creates content around family, Christianity and well-being (fitness, eating right and mental health). Her work ethic is amazing and I love how she has created a name for herself and still keeps on creating it in the social media influencer space. I love her Christian content the most, there’s one video in particular that has helped me in my walk with Christ.
3. Favourite Marvel or DC villain?
I’d say Thanos because he had a very strong conviction regarding his beliefs and he even sacrificed his own daughter for what he believed in.
4. Introduce yourself
I’m Karabo Lesenya. I’m 22 years old and currently pursuing my honours degree at the University of Johannesburg.
I am a big fan of YouTube, and as a result I started my own YouTube channel. I even learned how to crochet just from watching YouTube videos, which I now do as a hobby.
5. How do you feel about being selected as a FINALIST for the Miss Soweto pageant?
I am so excited to be a finalist in the Miss Soweto pageant. The 12-year-old in me is screaming because from that age it has always been a dream of mine to enter and walk on the stage of a big pageant. It’s that moment when you feel like God has said: “My child, I have not forgotten you.”
6. What are you passionate about?
One of the things I’m passionate about is hair. Our natural hair is so beautiful and it can grow very long without harmful chemicals. I feel like there should be more education and knowledge surrounding the care for our natural hair.
One of my goals is actually to own a natural hair salon in the future.
7. Why do you think you have what it takes to be the next Miss Soweto?
I believe I have what it takes to become the next Miss Soweto – I have a teachable spirit, I like to learn and pass down what I have learned. I have good leadership skills and a desire to inspire others to follow their dreams.
