South African model Tshego Gaelae has been chosen as the winner of the 40th Mrs World pageant, which took place in Las Vegas, USA.
Sri Lanka's Ishadi Amanda was selected as the first runner-up, while Thailand's Ploy Panperm secured the second runner-up position.
Expressing her delight, Gaelae shared her appreciation on Instagram, stating, “To God Be the Glory. Thank you so much for the love and support, I am overjoyed and deeply thankful! My lovely South Africa, the crown is headed back Home.”
Mrs. World is the first beauty pageant for married women, created in 1984.
The organization that supported her journey, Mrs. South Africa, also congratulated her on social media, stating, "From Soweto to Vegas and now the World, @mrsworldpageant The Crown is Coming Home! Thank you to everyone who supported our Queen on her amazing Journey."
“Thanks to the @mrsworldpageant organization and judges for all that you do and for recognizing our queen and her impressive talents. What an honour to have a South African queen as the 40th Anniversary Mrs World, and the first-ever Black Mrs World.”
Gaele's triumph comes in the wake of heightened competition between South Africa and Nigeria at the beauty pageant.
As the first Nigerian and West African to finish as the runner-up at the Miss Universe 2024 competition held in Mexico City in November.
Adetshina, who also won the title of Miss Universe Africa and Oceania, faced criticism over her South African citizenship, a controversy that led to her withdrawal from the Miss South Africa pageant.
She was afterwards invited to take part in the Miss Universe Nigeria 2024 pageant, in which she emerged victorious.
The situation sparked debates about the escalating rivalry between the two countries.
