Impact<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The contestants for the 76th Miss South Africa pageant demonstrated substance and depth throughout the competition process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The newly crowned pageant queen will focus her reign on creating meaningful impact on key challenges facing the country, including women&#8217;s empowerment, youth unemployment, access to education, and civic engagement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mazaleni&#8217;s background as a speech therapist positions her well to advocate for communication and educational access issues during her
