Klerksdorp Record, Klerksdorp - The sixteen-year-old Kaitline Cloete is preparing to represent South Africa on the international pageant stage later this year.
She has already made her hometown proud by earning the title of Miss Teen Africa SA 2025, and now she’s calling on the Klerksdorp community and local businesses to open their hearts and lend their support.
By winning the title, she secured her place to compete at the Miss Teen Africa International and UK Fashion Expo in early 2026. This journey is not just about beauty and fashion - it’s about leadership, youth empowerment, and representing South Africa with pride.
Beyond the crown, Kaitline is passionate about giving back. She supports local outreach projects like Kaya Tshepo Children’s Home and regularly participates in community drives for girls in need, including sanitary pad donations.
However, this exciting journey comes with significant costs for travel, accommodation, attire, and entry fees. Kaitline and her mother, Suriette Cloete, are appealing to local businesses, organizations, and individuals to help make this dream possible.
“We’re not just raising funds; we’re building hope. I want to show every young girl that your background doesn’t define your future,” says Kaitline, a learner of Hoërskool Schoonspruit.
You can support Kaitline’s journey by donating via her official BackaBuddy campaign: www.backabuddy.co.za/campaign
For sponsorships or partnership opportunities, contact mom Suriette on 082 702 5083.
