Miss South Africa 2020 Shudufhadzo Musida graduated on Tuesday with a BA Honours in International Relations from the University of the Witwatersrand.
Â
The graduation ceremony was held virtually due to the Covid-19 pandemic. However, Shudufhadzo was a guest of the Wits vice-chancellor, Professor Zeblon Vilakazi.
Â
There were celebratory whoops of joy accompanied by tears of happiness as Shudufhadzo received her degree in the same week that she celebrated her birthday.
Â
Shudufhadzo explained how the day was the culmination of a dream that her beloved great grandmother had for her: "Growing up in Ha-Masia, deep in the heart of Vhembe District in Limpopo, my Gugu always stressed that education was a fundamental stepping stone to success. How proud she would have been of me, her little Abi (I was known as Abigail as a child), who has earned this university degree."
Shudufhadzo also has a Bachelor of Social Science degree in Philosophy, Politics and Economics from the University of Pretoria.
