South Africa’s Tshego Gaelae Crowned Mrs. World 2024 in Las Vegas
South Africa is celebrating a historic moment as Tshego Gaelae has been crowned Mrs. World 2024 in a dazzling ceremony held in Las Vegas. Her victory is particularly momentous, as she becomes the first Black woman in the 40-year history of the Mrs. World competition to win this prestigious title.
Tshego follows in the footsteps of Candice Abrahams, who made history as the first South African to claim the global crown in 2016. Now, nearly a decade later, Gaelae’s win further cements South Africa’s legacy on the international stage.
