# University of the Free State alumna, Lisa Msiza, is set to represent South Africa at the Miss + Mister Deaf Universe pageant in Georgia, USA, in October. She was crowned Miss Deaf South Africa last year. During her time at UFS, she pursued a Bachelor of Arts degree in Linguistics and South African Sign Language and graduated in 2023. Msiza says being the first black Miss Deaf South Africa winner to take part in the international pageant is significant, and she hopes to push boundaries even further.
