Beautiful-busy Mej Thabazimbi 2018

Thabazimbi – Onosi Shai was crowned as Mej Thabazimbi 2018 on 27 July 2018. During her reign, she was as busy as a bee with several charity events and local fundraisers; she is working hard to make a positive difference in her community. She offers a helping hand wherever she goes.

 
This girl is on fire when it comes to helping her community and would like to thank her sponsors and community for their contribution towards the Mej Thabazimbi 2018 final event: The Villa Toscana Guest House, Studio 3 Model Management and Casting Agents and the Shai family for all the crowns, sashes and support during the year.

“I would also like to wish every finalist all the best for the final crowning of Mej Thabazimbi 2019 and remember a true queen never loses, they either win or learn,” Onosi said in an interview with Platinum Bushvelder. 


The theme of this year’s Mej Thabazimbi is Out of Africa. Application forms are available at the entrance of the main sponsor, Thabazimbi Spar. 


The new Mej Thabazimbi 2019 will be crowned at the Thabazimbi Landbou Skou.
