Reigning Miss World, Toni-Ann Singh, was recently in South Africa as a special guest of Chief Mandla Mandela. Nelson Mandela's eldest grandson celebrated his mother's 70th birthday in Mvezo.
Singh donated 1300 pairs of shoes as part of "Beauty With A Purpose" support of local schools and children.
The 23-year-old arrived in Mthatha,
Eastern Cape, and before the birthday celebrations was given a personal tour of the Nelson Mandela museum.
Singh said it was an honour to learn about the late icon.
"Legacy is the word of the day. What an honour and a privilege it was to learn more about the mark Nelson Mandela has left on our world. He fought for freedom, love, and unity. The spirit of Madiba lives on, not only in his grandson, but in all of us."
Following the tour, Miss World was a guest at the birthday celebration of Rose Rayne Mandela-Perry.
During the celebration, Singh, who is a singer, performed a "very emotional" happy birthday in front of all the invited guests.
