Beauty needs help to win crown By Tlangelani Khosa
Comments Beauty Mathebula is asking Good Samaritans to help with donations so she can compete at a beauty pageant in Brazil.
BEAUTY Mathebula’s dream is to put Mpumalanga and South Africa on the map.
But she needs sponsors to achieve that.
Beauty from Justicia Village in Bushbuckridge, Mpumalanga, is one of the girls chosen to compete at the Miss Petite Globe International pageant set to be held in Brazil in April this year.
She told Daily Sun that taking part in this competition would be a great achievement for her since she hails from a rural area.
Pre-pandemic I was all for mocking romantic restaurant Valentine’s Day dinners. I dismissed them as a money-making ploy to fill the gourmet gap between the departure of the Christmas Turkey and the arrival of the Easter Bunny. Reminding my nearest and dearest that the real St Valentine was not only celibate but also clubbed to death and then beheaded seemed stylishly cynical.
Now? Not so much. I am nostalgic for the days before social distancing, booze bans and curfews when I blithely assumed that there would be endless opportunities for amorous eating out. I am aware that, even if (please God) my husband and I are alive, economically afloat and vaccinated by this time next year, many of the hospitality hotspots we loved will not have survived.
