THE Limpopo province could produce the next Miss SA 2020, if the gods continue to smile on them. The province boasts two finalists in this year’s Top 15 of the pageant. One of the finalists, Shudufhadzo Musida, said village girls can do big things too. The 23-year-old from Ha-Masia, in Limpopo, said she hoped other girls from small villages would be inspired by her. Said Shudufhadzo: “I’m an example that where you come from doesn’t mean anything. Young girls should know that nothing is impossible. No dream is off limits. They can dream as big as they want and as much as they can, regardless of where they come from.” She said she started modelling as a means to make extra money. “I started modelling when I was 17 years…
