In December 9th 2021 at Silverstar Hotel, Gauteng, Amanda Maluleke was crowned winner of Miss HotLegs South Africa.
Amanda Maluleke a UNISA LLB student was born on April 15, 2000, and raised in Tzaneen. She was a cricket player before showing interest in modeling.
Amanda did not start modelling until 2018 at the age of 18. In an interview with New Telegraph, the Beauty Queen, whose home language is Tsonga, says she plans on working on a pet project that would help reduce the increasing rate of rape in high schools in South Africa.
“I think areas that need improvement in South Africa are primary schools and high schools, not with regards to material things but knowledge. Statistics prove that police registered 10,006 cases of rape between April and June 2021 in South Africa which is very tragic. I firmly believe that preventing sexual violence starts with what we teach young boys,” said Amanda.
“Girls and women are mostly given advice about rape prevention but unfortunately, we live in a society where violence against women – both in action and in speech – is prevalent, and for that reason, it’s reasonable for those who care about women and girls to worry about their safety,” she continued.
The beauty queen also spoke about her love for the Nigeria movie industry Nollywood which made her fall in love with Nigeria even more and how she hopes to visit Nigeria in the near future. She further mentioned her love for Nigerian music, “I listen to Nigerian music most of the time. My favorite artists are Burna Boy, Tiwa Savage, Davido, Wizkid and Olamide.”
