Miss Swaziland Linda reigning quietly
MISS Swaziland Linda Hutchinson is unknown to the local entertainment sector.
MISS Swaziland Linda Hutchinson is unknown to the local entertainment sector.
This was gathered in various interviews with personalities in the entertainment industry who made it clear that the queen’s moves are surely out of sight. Commenting on behalf of the beauty queen and the pageants organising committee, Catrien Maree Potgieter said the queen had been giving her full attention to her studies as she is studying at the University of Swaziland.
“Linda is still enrolled with UNISWA and as the committee we vouch for education first thus her appearances were limited to October, November and December last year. She was also attending to her examinations,” commented Potgieter. The only recent appearance she made was at Good Shepherd Children’s Ward on Christmas where she donated items worth E1 200. Other than that the queen is barely seen in action.
The queen also failed to make show at L’mankelenkele Lubombo Summer Festival where she was the brand ambassador.
Potgieter was quick to mention that the queen would mostly be seen in action this year but that would be when she is on break at the University of Swaziland.
Below are some of the responses from the personalities;

She has not really put herself out there but then again we understand because even the past queens did nothing but donate food and toys but I am quite hopeful she has something under her sleeve that she is waiting to unleash to the Swazi nation as she is representing the whole country.
g Coralee Vilakati- Model
Personally I am disappointed in the committee. I have nothing against the crowned Miss Swaziland, in fact I know her personally. I was disappointed when I learnt that two of the 10 finalists have tattoos when they should have been disqualified the moment they discovered about them. The licence holder should be going out and looking for participants in town.
They should not wait for them to come and register. There are so many girls out there who I believe would do us proud but have no one to tell them you can do it, or someone to train them and give them those pageants walks. They cannot just sit down and work on those people who come to them and say I want to be Miss Swaziland. I feel like if we ever want to come with something from Miss World then we should be looking at this the international standard way, not have your normal height girl representing the whole country.
When one becomes Miss Swaziland they become a people's person. You no longer have a private life. Not only do you attend events, you also create them. Former Miss Swaziland Samu Magagula did a lot actually; she hosted a high tea party and the stiletto run. I am not saying she should do the same but we need her brain as well, she must create something.
Lastly, her social media pages do not show she is representing us Swazi girls. I feel like our real queen was Thembelihle Zwane and the queens before her. She is very quiet.
g Mfundo ‘Khux’ Dlamini- Socialite and Deejay
Oh yes Miss Swaziland, where is she? Although she is a lovely lady I am disappointed at the fact that nothing has happened thus far in terms of helping out in things like road safety campaigns, donations to the needy, getting involved in women and children anti abuse campaigns etc, particularly this festive season. One of the most important task as Miss Swaziland is taking part in national events or campaigns however that does not mean we put all the blame on her as she needs guidance from concerned organisations, as well as support from her first and second princess. I do wish her all the best with her year and emphasised on the fact that she needs support and guidance.
g Thembelani Nhlabatsi- Socialite
I have no idea who the current Miss Swaziland is.
g Laurence Lukhele- Swaziland Epic Models Founder
Well, based on what Miss Swaziland used to be before, I think we need to blame it on the organisers. They are responsible for building up the brand and maintaining it. Good PR makes a good brand, but generally, people enjoy spending the money and neglect growing the brand. Same as the title holders, they need to be keen on building up their names and using the title to their benefit, that is a gate pass to success, yet they also tend to relax.
g Mistosoul- Deejay
Honestly speaking I only saw or read about her after she won the Miss Swaziland title and recently after she gave out Christmas gifts at the Good Shepherd children's ward. Otherwise, I believe an ambassador of her kind needs to be out there doing her social responsibilities and enriching herself and the whole youth in the Kingdom. And of course, she needs to be a social butterfly, people have to see more of that beauty, she is the fairest of them all after all.
g Okuhle Shongwe- Socialite
What is her name by the way, what is she busy with if not her duties to the society. Is she in hiding or something? Well I believe she should be appearing more often, she should be going around asking for sponsorship for charity work, appear in events, she should be a true ambassador, be a role model to some and serve to all Swazis!
g Sibusiso ‘Kina’ Dlamini- Socialite
Swaziland is a very small country with a great need for role models and we count on these pageant winners to make it count for the younger generation.
The only Miss Swaziland I see is the former Miss Swaziland Nozipho Shabangu and she is doing very well and still very relevant even today. I feel it is very important to always reach out to those who have done it before in order to understand what entails being Miss SD. With that being said, I do not know the current Miss SD, where she is or what she is doing. After asking around my work place it was said that she tried raising funds before she went to an International pageant but that was it.
