A Queen at the Forefront of Youth Empowerment: Gift Mhlophe, Miss Ratanda 2022

Poise, Eloquent and Wise are the words that best describe her, and not forgetting her beauty that has tongues wagging. Hailing from a small town, Heidelberg, Gift continues to leave remarkable footsteps for the youth, without fail, and she does it with great passion.

In the year 2022, she was crowned Miss Ratanda. Her reign opened a new dawn of great opportunities of being an impact driver and a tangible influence in society. Preparing young people for the future is her center of gravity as she embodies greatness and has assumed the role of an empowering and influential figure in society.

"I believe that the youth have a strong potential to dominate spaces, we can't say we are the future generation yet we are not being built and prepared to actually dominate spaces"

She is currently a junior facilitator at Motsha Teens, a Teenage Centered NPO, where she thrives and shines. She alludes that she wants to be recognized as the 'big sister' who stands as an oracle for Teenagers.
