Cape Town - Take a bow to the newest queen of Cape Town.
The 44th Annual Sactwu Spring Queen took place at Athlone Stadium on Saturday and the Cape Spy Team was there for all the action.
In addition, Sactwu also held its second annual Junior Spring Queen pageant, as well as Sactwu’s Own Talent competition.
Factory workers from 47 companies came out in their numbers to support their favourites.
MiCasa had the crowd on their feet before the pageantry started, and, the competition was fierce as the 47 Spring Queens hopefuls, 11 Junior Spring Queen contestants and six Sactwu’s Own Talent participants vied for the titles.
The stands were buzzing with excitement, and people sang songs of support for their favourites.
The talent show was won by Galiema Solomons, 29, of International Trimmings & Labels.
The single mom of two from Manenberg said the opportunity came at a good time.
“I am honoured, this has been an amazing experience. Winning this competition is perfect timing for me because it could open great doors for me musically,” she said.
The Junior Spring Queen title went to Keesha Johnson from Keedo International.
