Meet Mrs. Bold semi-finalist, Letshego Solomon-Motloung, affectionately known as Nia Teacher Princess, a passionate changemaker, creative leader, and advocate for youth empowerment through arts, education, and wellness.
Born of strong roots and proudly embracing her identity as “Ngwana ga Oumama”, Letshego represents the spirit of both Mangaung and Gauteng, bridging communities through her work and presence. Her journey is one of purpose, resilience, and service — a true reflection of a woman committed to uplifting others while walking boldly in her calling.
Letshego is the founder of LetS Productions, a dynamic platform that integrates arts, agriculture, education, and environmental awareness in schools. Through her initiatives, LARF (LetS Art & Recycled Fashions), she has impacted learners across schools by introducing innovative programmes that combine performance arts, recycled fashion, and reading development through phonics, breath, sound, and movement. Township to Suburbia.
Her work doesn’t stop there. She is also behind the growing community, LeZansi Digital Directory, supporting small businesses with visibility and growth opportunities, as well as LetS Live!, a health and wellness programme designed to nurture holistic living for both young people and adults, motivated by her motto: Let us Transform Society.
From classrooms to community halls, her influence continues to grow, shaping confident, creative, and expressive young leaders. She sits on the National organisation, NAEA, National Arts Education Authority FS, as deputy chair lady and also Head of Communications for Wilat-sa (Women in logistics and transport) FS, as Head of Communications.
For Letshego, entering Mrs. Bold was not just about the crown; it was about representation, diversity, and purpose. She saw the platform as an opportunity to amplify her voice, showcase the power of community-driven impact, and stand as a symbol of possibility for women who are building, nurturing, and leading in their own unique ways.
“Mrs. Bold represents more than beauty—it represents strength, diversity, and real-life impact. I entered because I believe my journey speaks to many women who are balancing purpose, family, and community work while still daring to dream boldly,” she shares.
As she continues her journey towards the Finals announcement in June 2026 and the official crowning in November 2026, LetS is calling on her community to stand with her. Supporters can vote by simply sending SMS “Africa 88” to 37587 (SMS costs R5).
