Lalela is a scapegoat of the government’s inconsistency on IsraelI do not support beauty pageants, I regard them as an extension of patriarchy that reinforce patriarchal standards for women. But while I am generally uninterested in pageants, I am interested in the issue of recently crowned Miss South Africa, Lalela Mswane, going to Israel to represent SA in the Miss Universe pageant. Contrary to organisers of Miss SA, the issue is not just about modelling, it is a serious political question. Malaika nailed it here,there were too many marches to Parliament against what Israel doing but no response from the SA government now they are hiding behind her. She's a soft target 🤧
