Bulelwa Lembethe was crown as Miss Qadi Nyuswa 2019. The ceremony happened at KwaNyuswa Qadi hall on Saturday, November 30.

The Miss Qadi Nyuswa started in 2012 with five models, and now it is contested by 60 models. The hall was packed to its full capacity as the residents flocked in to see the Miss Qadi Nyuswa 2019.

This glittering ceremony was hosted by Ikhono Organization that was established in 2012 by Sbonelo Mbokazi. Ikhono is an NPO Organization that is sponsored by the Art and Culture Department. In 2015, the organization also obtained a sponsorship from Richfield College. Ikhono has donated R250k bursaries, 12 laptops, and shopping vouchers. The aim of establishing the organization was to groom young talents in the community. They also participate in various activities that also include modeling.

Sibonelo said before he decided to establish his NPO, there were no sporting activities for girls in the community. "We decided to include only girls because boys are involved in many sports activities (like soccer, rugby, etc.). Another aim was to prevent HIV and teenage pregnancy."

The previous winners of 2013, 2016, and 2018 have transcended the community borders to shine in the greener pastures. Nana Mnyandu (Miss Qadi Nyuswa 2013) have gone to model for Davide Tlale's fashion scene. Sanelisiwe Jaca (Miss Qadi Nyuswa 2017) is another local daughter who became the top 3 in South Africa and has traveled to model in Jamaica. Qalokuhle Zama (Miss Qadi Nyuswa 2018) has also transcended the community borders to model for Miss Pinetown.

" We wish to take these children to Miss South Africa and allow them to meet Miss South Africa," Sibonelo said. Bulelwa Lembethe was cheered by the crowd as she became the 8th winner of Miss Qadi Nyuswa 2019.

Opinion And Analysis: Why The Black Colour Is Always Associated With The Negative Things?

Image: Sensational Colour Mdunge Skhumbuzo For many years, the black colour has been associated with many negative things. Steve Biko once said, "Being black is not a matter of pigmentation - being black is a reflection of mental attitude.'' There are fabricated dialects that connotate the black colour as the representative of failure and bad luck. Questions that relate to black colour being used to represent failure. When the customer fails to pay his debts, the Credit Bureau refers to that customer as blacklisted. The question is, why did they choose to use black instead of using other colours like blue and maybe say the customer is blue listed?
