We have the pleasure to announce that Zee World has joined Anel de Swardt-Strydom and her company, Commonwealth Pageants South Africa (Pty) Ltd. Zee World will be the official media sponsor of Miss Teen Commonwealth, Mrs. Commonwealth and Miss Grand South Africa pageants. Zee World has the naming rights for two of these amazing pageants Miss Grand will be known as Zee World Miss Grand South Africa and Miss Teen Commonwealth South Africa will be known as Zee World Miss Teen Commonwealth SA.

Zee World Miss Teen Commonwealth South Africa is a leadership programme where the teens are taught everything on public speaking, leadership and modelling. The purpose is to make a difference in their communities. The teens are doing great work to bring relief at their non-profit organisations.

Zee World Mrs Commonwealth South Africa is an empowerment programme for the finalists. They become inspiring women to empower, inspire and motivate other women. Our Zee World Mrs Commonwealth South Africa ladies are involved with charities in their communities but also raise funds for Pink Drive. As finalists they attend workshops to gain knowledge from experts to go out and be role models in their communities. During their journey as finalists they inspire other women to become the best versions of themselves. As finalists and winners they also host their own events in raising funds for charities and making a difference. The Zee World Mrs Commonwealth South Africa attend events where they are motivational speakers on women issues as well.

Miss Grand SA thrives to stop violence and focuses on bringing relief for women and children in war stricken areas. In South Africa they focus on charities working with abused women and children.

As a television channel, we want to do more than just entertain our viewers, we want to bring sensitive topics to the surface and bring awareness to our viewers.

“I am delighted to have Zee World as our official Media Sponsor for the Zee World Miss Teen, Zee World Mrs. Commonwealth SA and Miss Grand South Africa pageants. We look forward to the partnership and want to say thank you for being our proud media sponsor”, says Anel de Swardt-Strydom.

Zee World looks forward to joining Anel and her team and making the pageants even bigger than they already are! “As a TV channel we want to do more than give our viewers the best of entertainment, we also aspire to bring awareness on certain relevant, every day issues to our viewers who are mostly women and believe that this new venture will help us achieve just that”, says Harish Goyal, CEO of Zee TV Africa.
