“I had already been thinking about an international platform for Supreme Queen Global Earth Africa [SQGEA] contestants, and the former director of Mrs Globe SA was ready to embark on a new journey. The alignment of the brands and the timing was evident,” said Lebatie.

Supreme Queen Global Earth Africa, in association with Mrs Globe SA, makes tremendous efforts to promote women’s empowerment, personal development, and community service.

The merger of the two pageants creates an even more powerful platform for women of African descent to showcase their talents and skills and promote positive change in their communities.

The merger is also a significant milestone in the history of African beauty pageants.

The union aims to create a more inclusive platform for women regardless of marital status, and will provide a more comprehensive platform for women to showcase their talents, skills, and community service initiatives.
