Miss TiBaKalanga 2025–2026 Village Competition Update

The Road to Miss TiBaKalanga 2026 has officially begun — and what an inspiring start it was!

This past weekend, the TG Silundika Cultural Community Centre hosted a vibrant series of activities celebrating creativity, culture, and confidence among young women from across the Kalanga region.

The following day, three villages — Jutshume, Mbimba, and Nsubula — came together for a joyful and colourful Miss TiBaKalanga Village Competition at the SaNoe & NaNoe Homestead (Ndoi).
The event highlighted the beauty of Kalanga culture, from traditional attire and song to the heartfelt confidence of each contestant.

The judges had a difficult task, but three outstanding young women were crowned as the first Queens of the 2025–2026 journey.
🌺 Congratulations to Our New Village Queens and Princesses!

As Nkosi Nkomo reminded everyone,
“A crown is not just something you wear — it’s something you live.”

This event marks a powerful beginning for the 2025–2026 Road to Miss TiBaKalanga — one that celebrates not only beauty, but also purpose, unity, and the enduring strength of Kalanga women.
