A Bloemfontein businesswoman was named one of the 2024 Dallmayr Mrs. South Africa semi-finalists in the first week of February in Roodepoort.

Katlego Mogorosi (37) said entering the competition was taking a risk that continuously energises her mind, will, and emotions. “Through my involvement in ChildLine Free State and woman empowerment, being crowned Mrs South Africa would amplify these passions and positively impact the lives of women and children across the nation.”

“If I was granted the opportunity of being Mrs. South Africa I would use my platform to advocate for greater support and resources for organisations such as ChildLine to ensure every child is deserving of a happy ending,” said Mogorosi.

“I aim to establish initiatives that empower women to pursue entrepreneurship, providing them with the tools and resources needed to succeed.”

The Katlego Coffee Cafe owner said besides being on stage and a mother, she has discovered a love for creating engaging content on social media platforms as it connects her with her audience and to just spreads positivity online.

Being involved in my children’s lives brings me immense joy and fulfillment, I treasure every moment spent with them by either dropping them off at school or doing extracurricular activities.

“The moment my name was called out, it was a profound confirmation for me that I was stepping into a life of positive impact and significance. I knew that it was not just about me but an opportunity for me to make a difference in the lives of others.”
