The Road to Miss TiBaKalanga 2026 begins!

✨ “A Crown You Live — A Culture You Carry.” ✨

The journey to the next Miss TiBaKalanga Festival Queen has officially begun — and this year marks the start of something new, meaningful, and deeply rooted in Kalanga culture. 🌿

This year’s Road to Miss TiBaKalanga 2025–2026 opens with the first four village competitions:
Jutshume · Bambadzi · Nsubula · Mbimba

📅 Sunday, 2 November 2025

🕙 10:00 AM – 5:00 PM
🎟️ Adults R10 · Kids R5

🌺 A Celebration of Culture, Confidence & Community

The Miss TiBaKalanga Village Competitions bring together beauty, tradition, and leadership. Each contestant showcases her pride in Kalanga heritage through song, dance, storytelling, and talent — but this year, the journey goes even deeper.

Alongside the celebration, TGSCCC introduces a new initiative designed to give the Miss TiBaKalanga pageant lasting community impact.

💫 Introducing Queens for Dignity

For the first time, the TiBaKalanga stage becomes more than a place of recognition — it becomes a platform for real change.

The Queens for Dignity campaign is a new empowerment initiative by the TG Silundika Cultural Community Centre (TGSCCC). It transforms each crowned Queen and Princess into a community ambassador, helping to uplift other young women across the region.

Through this programme, village queens will support workshops held at the Centre, teaching girls and women how to make reusable sanitary pads — a simple, sustainable way to promote health, dignity, and confidence.

The goal is to show that wearing the crown is not the end of the journey — it’s the beginning of leadership, service, and purpose.

“A crown is not just something you wear — it’s something you live. Be the kind of Queen who lifts others up with her example and her heart.” — Nkosi Nkomo, Operational Lead, TGSCCC
