Shudufhadzo Musida bags new TV show gig

Former Miss South Africa Shudufhadzo Musida is to host a new TV show. 

The show will play out on Afrimax on The home channel channel 176, where she will be discussing African Art, Architecture, Culture, Cuisine, Design, Fashion, and History.

The beauty queen took to her Instagram timeline to announce the brand new show which she will be hosting and expressed her excitement while recalling the experiences which she faced while growing up. 

 “Growing up, I felt like I always existed in the shadows and in the background, places I felt I could slip away into because I never quite felt good enough to be remarked at in any kind of way. I was shy, awkward looking, somewhat nerdy and found companionship and friendship with my books at home. There was nothing particularly special about me and I was often reminded of that, both by those around me and subsequently by myself too,” she wrote in her instagram post.  

Shudufhadzo also revealed how she could not shake off the feelings that came with being in the spotlight.  

“It was strange because I always admired society’s bold and beautiful that were celebrated, revered and loved. From stages, to billboards, to TV screens, it was a life I could only dream of, but couldn’t shake the feeling that it would never be for me. It was only when I started believing in myself, my ability, my value, and what I had to offer, that things in my life started changing. I’m so happy I took that big step out of the shadows and emerged from the background,” Shudufhadzo added.

“This is only the beginning and I can’t wait to experience the full journey of the marathon that lies ahead, step by step with so much to change and so much to accomplish along the way to inspire that change.”
