Mrs South Africa ™

I am Tshego Gaelae. I am 33 years old and live in Centurion, Gauteng. I am an Admitted Attorney working as a Group B-BBEE & Labour Relations Manager. I have 1 child with my spouse, Tshepo, to whom I have been married for 4 years. In my spare time, I like to create influential content for brands on my social media platforms, as well as educational content for My Lawyer’s Corner, on my YouTube page. I am #EveryWoman because I am a woman for women. Sisterhood, to me, means taking a purposeful role in seeing to the success of the women in and around us. In this regard, I am highly dedicated to the wins of women from all walks of life. I am Tshego Gaelae and I am your new Mrs South Africa 2024. . #MrsSouthAfrica #MrsSA2023 #SheIsBonafide

Pageant Week has arrived, which means all our contestants are busy with all the final preparation for a special week ahead. That means fittings, hair, nails, skincare, tan appointments and of course, a little visit to @btlaestheticssouthafrica for the perfectly sculpted and toned body. The BTL #EMsculpt treatment builds muscle and burns fat through its use of vibrations to create deep muscle contractions without you needing to do a single thing. Just lie back and let the machine do the work. . #MrsSouthAfrica #MrsSA2024 #SheIsBonafide #YourTimeIsNow #BTL #BTLAesthetics #btlaestheticssouthafrica #emsculpt
