Just days after South Africa saw the crowning of its first-ever Mister Supranational Dr Fezile Mkhize, yet another mzansi-born gem was crowned at the renowned beauty pageant.
It seemed as if this was a winning week for the nation of South Africa, first Dr Fezile Mkhize bagged the Mister Supranational title, the Springboks won their battle against Ireland and to top it off, Byroni Govender was crowned Ms Supranational Africa on Saturday evening, 6 July.
The event was held at Nowy Sącz, Lesser Poland where contestants from 68 different parts of the world competed for the coveted prize, with another South African in the form of Nico Panagio taking over the hosting duties.
On the night, Bryoni made it through to the top 12 but fell short of the top 5 positions. However, this did not mean that she would return home empty-handed.
This is because the awards were still presented to the highest-ranking contestant within the same continent – and this saw the former Miss South Africa runner-up become Ms Supranational Africa 2024.

As reported by the news and entertainment publication, The South African, other continental winners included Andrea Sáenz of Mexico for the Americas, Alethea Ambrosio of the Philippines for Asia and Oceania, Fiorella Medina of Porto Rico for the Caribbean, and Victoria Larsen of Denmark for Europe.
Beaming with excitement was the Miss South Africa organisation as they took to social media to share their congratulatory messages.
“Our hearts are beaming with pride. Congratulations on an outstanding journey. We look forward to seeing all the incredible things you will achieve as you continue to leave your mark on the world!”
