Local model Pontsho Masita from Thabong, Welkom, has made her mark on the national pageant stage after representing both Welkom and the Free State Province as a national finalist in the Miss India South Africa 2025 pageant.
The accomplished young woman, who matriculated at Unitas High School in Welkom and is pursuing her studies at the University of South Africa, achieved a significant milestone by reaching the prestigious national competition.
The grand finale of this national pageant was held in Sandton, Johannesburg, in December 2025 and was broadcast on Zee TV, Channel 166 on DStv, providing viewers across the country with the opportunity to witness the spectacular event. Pontsho competed alongside finalists from other provinces, demonstrating her poise and elegance on the national stage. Although she advanced to the top 20 contestants, this achievement marked her first television appearance at a national level, representing a significant accomplishment in her modelling career.
Pontsho is currently represented by BellaDiosa Talent and Sports Agency. This professional representation has provided her with the platform and guidance necessary to pursue her pageant ambitions at the highest levels.
Her pageant credentials extend beyond her national appearance, as she is the reigning Miss Goldfields Supermodel 2024, having claimed victory in this local regional pageant. This title served as a stepping stone to her national success and demonstrated her ability to excel in competitive pageant environments.
Her expertise and experience in the pageant world have also been recognised by her peers, as evidenced by her invitation to serve as one of the guest judges at the Mr & Miss CUT Welkom Campus 2025 pageant, which was held at the Central University of Technology’s Welkom Campus.
Pontsho’s diverse background extends beyond modelling and pageantry, as she has demonstrated her athletic prowess as a female rugby player for the Griffons. This has likely contributed to her physical fitness, discipline, and competitive spirit, all qualities that serve her well in the demanding world of beauty pageants.
