Namibian model Mmoloki Samoka has advanced to the finals of the Mister Supranational Supra Chat segment, a key preliminary round of the international competition that highlights contestants’ communication skills, charisma, and critical thinking.

Samoka, a 28-year-old chemical and process engineering intern from Omaruru, was named winner of Supra Chat Episode 2, beating strong contenders from Belgium, Curacao, Czech Republic, Jamaica, and the Netherlands. Fans and judges voted in a 40/60 split to determine the finalists.

His articulate response about overcoming poverty as an African man, and his desire to inspire others to break cycles of hardship, impressed both audiences and the judging panel.

This marks Namibia’s return to the competition after missing last year’s edition, and Samoka could become the second consecutive African model to lead in this category, following reigning Mister Supranational Dr. Fezile Mkhize’s win in 2024.
