MBABANE – Miss Culture Global 2024 set to take place on August 27 – 31 2024,
in South Africa is a rapidly growing beauty pageant as every year more beauty
queens join them and they get to learn diverse cultures from each other as that
is the foundation’s core focus.
Melinda Mavuso was recently crowned Miss Culture Global Eswatini  and she will
be representing the country at this year’s crowning which  will take place in
August. The miss culture global manages and organises the best pageant events in
order to unite people from diverse cultures to learn from each other, learn and
celebrate different cultures through beauty and fashion. One of their, main
objectives is to encourage creativity and information exchange of people from
different nationalities or cultures.
Preparations
When asked how she is preparing for the pageant, Mavuso said that she would be
visiting care points around the country especially the ones that are in her area
very soon. “To add on I’ll be getting professional training when it comes to
the Swazi cultural dances and the nation should expect more photo shoots coming
from me, which basically adds to my profile for Miss Culture Global and not
forgetting that I’m taking modelling classes with Model Manifest Eswatini.”
The beauty queen also mentioned how excited she was, as she will be representing
the country internationally because that is a dream come true for her ever since
she embarked on her modelling career.
Culture
As bringing together diverse cultures is one of Miss Culture global’s core
focus, Melinda said that she hopes that she will learn from the other cultures
and also teach them more about the Eswatini culture. “I am really looking
forward to the pageant as I want to teach them about the Umhlanga Dance, as this
cultural event brings  together unmarried maidens to show them how the cultural
dances are done the right way and elaborate more on the Swazi traditional
regalia, umhelwane , why it is worn and why.” Miss Culture Global also signed
an MoU with the Ministry of Sports, Arts and culture where their primary goal is
to establish a solid framework for collaboration and cultural exchange between
them. Through their partnership both organisations seek to promote mutual
understanding, respect and appreciation of each other’s cultural heritage and
traditions.
