Moreso, for her journey to be succesful, Sibanda has worked with several brands and she said she appreciates their effort.

“I have been working with different voluntary organisations to push my cause. I took a pageant course by Natalie Glebora, Miss Universe 2005 and have been medictating a lot to prepare myself physically and mentally.

“My sponsors include: Simbisa Brand, Ausial Collection, VD by Vara, Slay Sisters, Hot Heels Zimbabwe, YO  plug Zimbabwe, Jacque Msindo cosmetics, Langa Cosmetics, House of Style etc. I am so grateful of these brands because this journey wouldn’t be what it is  if it wasn’t for them,” she said .

She further added that by  stepping into the platform of Miss Africa as the country’s delegate, she is following the footsteps of other female models who have been empowered through the platform. Hence she is hoping to use the same platform to empower the nation and the continent.

“I am not only fufilling a childhood of representing my country internationally. I am looking also to joining a legacy of women who have passed through a platform that amplifies women’s voice to fuel posi change in their society.

Ayanda further said,if she gets crowned as the Queen, her  main project will impact the continent.
