Model and beauty pageant titleholder, Shudufhadzo Musida has expressed her goal to become South Africaās President. She will also be representing South Africa in Miss World 2021.
Some of her greatest achievements in the modelling industry would be being featured in Vogue Italia in 2018. She has also modelled for large brands including Woolworths. Of course we wonāt leave out the fact that she currently holds the title of Miss South and will represent South Africa in the Miss World 2021 contest.
Her tweet expressing her desire to run for president was met with some highly unanticipated criticisms, most of which tied in her background in modelling. Some popular sentiments can be summed up into comments that read something like āPresident of Bikini Bodies?ā or āFocus on walking around naked. Stay in your lane.ā
Does her being a model automatically disqualify her from presidency? Is her modelling career a reflection of a low IQ? It seems that most people seem to think so.
Hereās what others have forgotten. Whether or not she goes on to pursue a political career is another issue. The important issue might be that she is not just a beauty without brains. Her track record outside of the beauty industry is also pretty impressive.
Musida holds graduated with a Bachelor of Social Sciences in Philosophy, Politics and Economics. She hasnāt stopped there, she is currently doing her BA Honours in International Relations at the University of Witwatersrand.
She doesnāt end there. Musida is an advocate for mental health awareness and the empowerment of women and children. In sight of these qualifications outside her modelling career, some people remarked that she would make for a good president given her social activism.
