The programmes are designed to equip contestats with essesntial life skills ahead of the finale, which will be held at the Millenium Jazz Restaurant on March 8.
The Miss Millennium Project Coordinator, Zenzele Hirschfeld said, the pageant which was on its 17th edition, would feature a Wellness Day initiative sponsored by Fearless Fitness Club and Black Rose Fitness Club, with track champion, Tsaone Sebele as the chief guest.
The initiative promotes both physical and mental wellbeing.

Hirschfeld said through this initiative, contestants would be taught practical skills in budgeting, saving, and wealth building.
“Financial independence is a crucial part of women’s empowerment. Through this initiative, we aim to give contestants the tools, tips, and resources to make informed financial decisions,” Hirschfeld said.
She also added that the event would also feature a compassionate toiletry donation drive led by the contestants and the Millennium community.
She highlighted that the Miss Millennium aimed to expand its reach and deepen its commitment to women’s empowerment through fundraising and community outreach efforts. ENDS
