Miss Tamboekie Pageant 2026 Winners Crowned.

The spotlight was on the stage at the Queendustria showgrounds on Friday evening as contestants competed for the Miss Tamboekie Festival 2026 crown.

The pageant formed part of the programme for the annual Tamboekie Festival and saw ten hopefuls take to the stage.

Contestants competed across three categories, showcasing casual wear, beach wear and evening/formal wear before the judges made their selections.

Following the three categories, the field was narrowed down to five finalists: Lisakhanya Mlotha (18), Zixo Malinga (15), Amyoli Mhlom (18), Khazimla Tshokela (16) and Othandwayo Muimbi (18).

The five finalists then faced the question-and-answer round, with each contestant answering a question from the judging panel before the final three were selected.

At the end of the competition, 18-year-old Othandwayo Muimbi from Mlungisi was crowned Miss Tamboekie Festival 2026.

Amyoli Mhlom (18) secured second place, while 16-year-old Khazimla Tshokela finished in third place.

The pageant added to the entertainment surrounding this year’s Tamboekie Festival, with the annual event bringing contestants and festival-goers together at the Queendustria showgrounds.
