Former Miss SA makes magic at Torah Academy

Published

Torah Academy last week welcomed former Miss South Africa, Shudufhadzo “Shudu” Musida, to the school to share her newly-released children’s story, Shudu Finds her Magic.

“Miss South Africa has dedicated herself to community service and education, with a special interest in mental well-being,” says Torah Academy Director Sara Bronstein. “She will be competing in the Miss World 2021 competition next month. Before her journey, she committed to sharing her newly-written children’s story at a local school. Torah Academy was her first choice, and she graciously came to read her story to our children.”

The story has been translated into six languages. “It speaks of her struggle of being bullied as a child, how she overcame her challenges, and found her inner voice,” says Bronstein. “It’s a beautiful story which has life lessons and depth which captivated the minds and hearts of the children. They asked questions and enjoyed exchanging thoughts and insights with Shudu. The children felt honoured to meet a celebrity, especially one that stands for integrity, honour, and the potential of each person.”

The school gave Musida a “kindness coupon”, and encouraged her to share it on her international travels and at Miss World.

Musida is a well-known advocate for mental-health awareness. Her book is aimed at children aged between four and 12, and deals with bullying and the power of friendship.
