Beautiful 33-year-old South African model, devoted mother, wife, labour relations manager, and lawyer, Tshego Gaelae, has been crowned the winner of the 40th Mrs. World pageant, held in Las Vegas, USA.

This historic milestone marks her as the first black woman to clinch the title, thereby igniting a sense of pride and celebration among South Africans.

Sri Lanka’s Ishadi Amanda was named the first runner-up, while Thailand’s Ploy Panperm secured the second runner-up position.

Celebrating her win, Gaelae expressed her gratitude in an Instagram post, where she wrote: “To God Be The Glory. Thank you so much for the love and support, I am beyond grateful and elated! My beautiful South Africa, the crown is coming Home.”

Mrs. World is the first beauty pageant for married women, which was conceived in 1984.

The organisation that supported her journey, Mrs. South Africa, also hailed the achievement in a social media post, 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 incredible Journey.

“Thank you to the @mrsworldpageant organisation and judges for everything you do, and for seeing our queen and her brilliance. What an honour to have a South African queen as the 40th Anniversary Mrs World, and first ever Black Mrs World.”
