4. Introduce yourself.
My name is Mpho Mashigo, I am 22 years old, born and bred in Soweto and I am currently a final year student studying towards my bachelor’s degree in education at the University of Johannesburg.
5. Tell us about your background and what your future goals are.
I’m passionate about working with children and education. I truly want learners to become the best versions of themselves at an early age and I think that’s why I decided to become a teacher. If we can give learners the opportunity to learn these skills at an earlier age, the greater the chances of future entrepreneurs.
6. Is there something that happened in your life that changed your trajectory?
The pandemic had a big impact on my life. So many people have lost close family members, myself included. It really made me learn to appreciate my family and friends more and to stop second-guessing everything I want to do because tomorrow isn’t really promised to anyone.
7. How do you feel about being selected as a finalist in the Miss Soweto pageant?
I am so excited to be chosen as a finalist and for the opportunity to represent my township in the best way possible.
I believe I am a confident, humble young lady who would like to make a difference in people’s lives while also trying to improve myself. I know what I want to do and believe I can achieve it with enough focus and determination.
