“I love South Africa; I love everything about this country.” - abigailmusida

26 November 2021 - 14:27I love South Africa; I love everything about this country. What can compare with our astonishing natural beauty? Can anything rival Cape Town, nestled below the iconic Table Mountain? It has been voted best city in the world many times with good reason.

I grew up in a small village, Ha-Masia, deep in the heart of Vhembe District in Limpopo. My home village is situated in South Africa’s orchard and I spent my childhood eating the tropical fruits in the area: juicy mangoes, pawpaws, avocados, and bananas. But the province is also known for its vegetable crops, including tomatoes, onions, and potatoes.

I have worn some of those local designers during my Miss South Africa reign, including Scalo, Sherif the Tailor, Biji, Warrick Gautier, and Gert-Johan Coetzee. This country also gave birth to amapiano, which is one of my favourite genres. Most importantly, it helped remove some of the stigma associated with mental illness and advertised the resources available to South Africans in need of help. We had millions of viewers from all over the world. And the response that came through the South African Depression and Anxiety Group was overwhelming.
