In her opening speech at the first leg of the celebrations – held at Polokwane’s Meropa Casino, Nokeri said coming from a village and being able to say she is Miss South Africa 2022 reaffirms the validity of dreams, regardless of where you’re from.

“And today I’d actually like to take it a step further, and say where I come from has uniquely qualified me to stand here today. It is because of…the community that shaped me…qualified me to stand here today and be a proud woman from Limpopo and say that where we come from truly empowers us to change the world.”

Many tweeps have taken to social media to congratulate the new queen, with many elated at seeing her proudly representing her home town and province – in both outfit and dance.
