Zwelakhe S.S.S Grade 8 learner, Snobom Liveni Siqhusheko has made her district proud by being crowned the Miss Top Model South Africa Junior Queen for 2026 at the national pageant hosted in East London from 25 to 26 September 2026.
Snobom was born in Mfinizweni Village in Lusikisiki and raised at Chithwa Village, Mount Ayliff under eMzimvubu Local Municipality. She started her modelling journey in 2022 by competing in the Mr & Miss Mt Ayliff. She is no stranger to the stage. In 2025 she was crowned Queen for Mr & Miss Bravery Eastern Cape, and she has won several local titles before this national crown. The crown she wears is not just for beauty, it is a symbol of focus, resilience and passion for modelling. She wants to be the voice of the voiceless and make a change in the community by conducting charity and awareness campaigns. Her advocacy is about Child and Youth Empowerment, as she believes that children are the future leaders, so they need to be empowered, protected and have access to education as their basic right.
We are very proud of her and hope her story will inspire other children from rural villages that nothing is impossible.
