Nomvula Xaba, is not just the current reigning queen and the Face of Queens With Purpose.
She is a bright and beautiful mother of two, a born-again Christian, a humanitarian and outgoing woman.
It is no exaggeration to say that this title is not for Jim and Jack… you have to work hard, sweat, be patient and know your story!
Xaba is good for the title and she’s got what it takes because she was tested, contested and won!
She is a very silent person, but she is sympathetic and enjoys helping others.
She was born in Vaal Triangle in Sebokeng but currently resides in Riverpark for work reasons.
She works in the healthcare industry as an admin assistant.
“My passion for modeling started during my early years of Primary School and I carried the passion through to High School where I was crowned Miss Tshepo Themba Secondary School.
“I then had to stop participating in pageants when I fell pregnant and had my first child. Back in those days, you could never participate in any pageant if you had a child.
“And because of that, I thought that was the end of my journey with pageantry. little did I know that there was an opportunity coming for me in the future.”
Xaba found out about the pageantry through her friends who saw the poster for the auditions and talked to her about it.
“Initially, I considered attending the auditions because of my friends. However, as I began researching about the pageantry, I discovered something that resonated with me!
“It was the fact that they were looking for someone who has the heart and passion for the disabled and this is something very close to my heart so I decided to run with it!”
Asked about her feeling to have become the face of Queens With Pupose, she said she was excited and that the journey was very helpful for her personal growth since they were offering her free lessons.
“It was a nice journey, but to get sponsorship it was challenging. Even now I still have a challenge as a reigning Queen.
” I must still bring change in the community.”
The worst part of her journey is that she does not have funds that will enable her to reach out to the disabled.
“I urge business people to please open their doors when we call for help.”
She is determined to run a charity program and bring changes in her chosen home.
