When Miss SA 2024 Mia le Roux got crowned, she said her advocacy would be inclusivity and to create a sense of belonging for everyone. The Gauteng Department of Education says it wants its grade 5 learners to learn South African Sign Language (SASL).
On Tuesday, le Roux honoured the invitation to attend a Sign Language and Music Enhancement Mini Festival at Transoranje School for the Deaf in Pretoria.
I believe diversity is extremely important and very special as well as we all bring something different and unique to the table.
And when we all bring something to the table, it gets so much stronger and it well benefits South Africa as well. So in that aspect, I do believe that diversity is beautiful. It should be celebrated and it is so important, she said.
Le Roux further added how important education is and emphasised that it is important to equip and empower life as a woman.
