Lesedi Khatoane, a six-year-old from Bedelia, Welkom in the Free State, was set to participate in an international pageant in Europe. However, her participation in the Little Miss Universe 2025 and Little Miss World 2025 pageants has been temporarily postponed to October 2025.
Originally scheduled to take place from May 5 to May 15, the event will now occur in October, and Lesedi needs financial support to make the trip to Turkey, where the pageants will be held. To cover expenses such as flight tickets, accommodation, competition entry fees, transportation in Turkey, international medical and travel insurance, visas, and various pageant outfits, Lesedi requires R120,000.
So far, she has managed to raise R68000, and her mother, Seipati, is appealing to sponsors to help raise the remaining amount.

“Your assistance in helping this young lady fulfill her dreams will significantly contribute to building a platform for her modeling career while promoting South Africa and her sponsors on her social media pages. We earnestly request your consideration in sponsoring Lesedi on this remarkable journey, assisting her in realizing her dream of representing South Africa on the international stage,” said her mother.
If you would like to support and sponsor Lesedi, please contact her mother, Seipati, at 0748748866.
