Miss South Africa 2021, Lalela Mswane (25) is the new Miss Supranational 2022. Lalela flew the country’s flag high when she competed in the Miss Supranational pageant on Friday and was crowned Miss Supranational at the international competition, with Miss Thailand taking first runner up.

“I don’t think words could express my gratitude for this experience. The people I have crossed paths with, the memories I have made and the things I have learnt have all been so enriching. A big Thank you to you team South Africa and all of team Lali across the world. I have been warmed by your all your constant love and words of encouragement throughout this journey.” Lalela said on Instagram ahead of the competition in Poland.
During the pageant, Mswane was asked, “Why do people fear losing things that they do not even have?” to which she answered.
“I think it stems from the fear of perfection, or pressures of the worlds and trying to seek for happiness that you don’t have. People tend to suffer from feeling discontent with what they have, so I really think that we need to change our mentality. Attitude with gratitude should be something that we instill every single day.”

Mswane also spoke about the importance of having an attitude of gratitude.
“I used to suffer from losing things that I don’t have. It stems from fear of perfection or pressures of the world and trying to seek from happiness that you don’t have. An attitude of gratitude should be something that we instill every day.”
