EVOTEL’S BEAUTY EYEING THE PRESTIGIOUS MRS SA CROWN!
As the saying goes: “The universe favours the underdogs!”
This could resonate well with the aspirations of Bonolo Moloi, an Evotel employee who has made it to the top of the iME Mrs South Africa 2025 semi-finalists podium in a prestigious competition that has already gone through three stages.
Mrs Moloi and her fellow semi-finalists are all competing to follow in the footsteps of the reigning Mrs World 2024, Tshego Gaelae, who beat the entire universe in a historic victory in Las Vegas earlier in the year to bring home the coveted tiara (winner’s crown).
Once in a Lifetime
Not everyone makes it to the semi-final stage, considering the number of women who have taken the courage to stand for this tough-as-teak competition.
Moloi has taken to the contest like a duck to water, and Evotel is in full support of her aspirations, hoping she will be the next Mrs World in the future and make a historic victory for South Africa by winning it back-to-back.
Anything is possible!
Her dedication and passion inspire her fellow employees, or at best, the entire married women across South Africa, and the Fibre Network Operator (FNO) is honoured to sponsor her journey for the remainder of the competition.
Behind her all the way
Moloi finds herself in this prestigious moment following the National Casting held at Pretoria’s Menlyn Park Shopping Centre on Friday, 31 January, and two additional public castings in Cape Town on Saturday, 8 February, and in KwaZulu-Natal on Sunday, 9 February.
According to the pageant organisers, the selected semi-finalists’ respective journeys began immediately with an intensive programme of personal development workshops, setting the tone for their year ahead, as part of the acclaimed women empowerment programme.
“These included sessions on personal branding, goal-setting, and leadership, as well as a professional photoshoot,” read the statement.
Chief Executive Joani Johnson said their updated approach reflects positively on their ongoing commitment to diversity and inclusivity, and celebrating real, bona fide South African women from every corner of the country.
“Watching women step out of their comfort zones and into the spotlight gives us valuable insight into their potential and their courage to grow, which is why we feel the live public castings are so important,” said Johnson.
“However, being cognisant of the financial realities facing families, we specifically wanted to extend the live castings to other provinces this year to bring the selection process directly to women in different communities.”
A warm congratulations
She offered the 2025 semi-finalists warm congratulations on their achievement, noting that she looked forward to witnessing their growth and successes in the coming months.
“Every woman here said ‘yes’ to themselves and to making this their time to shine, and seeing the fire inside each of them was so inspiring. These are definitely women to watch as the next generation of changemakers.”
