Mrs World 2024 Tshego Gaelae On How Platform and Opportunity Can Have An Impact On One’s Life. Having won Mrs South Africa 2024 as well as Mrs World 2024, Tshego Gaelae more than ever appreciates the power of platform. Having such crowns has granted the beauty queen endless opportunities and she forever remains grateful.

Tshego was crowned Mrs South Africa 2024, back in November 2023. She then went on to make history as the first Black woman to be crowned Mrs World in Las Vegas in January 2025. Aside from being a beauty queen, Tshego is a distinguished corporate professional, director, legal and transformation specialist whose career has been defined by leadership, excellence, and meaningful impact within the corporate and public sectors. A few months back, Tshego was announced as one of the Mrs South Africa 2026 Semis Judges. She also bags many gigs as an MC, possibilities that have come because of how she has used the platforms before her. Tshego has also encouraged others to not take the power of platform and opportunity for granted.

“One of the unshakable pillars that @mrs_south_africa stands on is Platform. From the day I became a Semi Finalist, I took that and ran with it, and it’s brought me something I don’t take for granted: Opportunity!

I’m grateful for every stage I’ve taken, every mic I’ve held in my hand, and every event I’ve been honoured to grace. The best is yet to come…,”
Tshego said.
