Mr and Miss NWU Vanderbijlpark: the search is on

If you thought that beauty pageants were just about high fashion and desirability, you have another thing coming. At the North-West University’s (NWU’s) campus in Vanderbijlpark, the annual Mr & Miss NWU Vaal pageant represents a celebration of confidence, charisma and talent.

On 11 May 2018 the reigning title holders – the beautiful Palesa Keswa and the charismatic Johannes Mothetho – will have the honour to crown their successors at a glitzy ceremony hosted at the Emerald Hotel and Casino in Vanderbijlpark.

The finalists has been announced and the pageant will see representatives from all the campus’s residences taking part. According to Lethiwe Khubeka, a member of the directorate Student Life and the pageant coordinator, the annual pageant aims to showcase the public speaking skills, achievements, community service and talents of the participating students. In short: students stepping up to be ambassadors of the university and role models of positive change and enablement.
