However, it is her commitment to using her platform for the greater good that truly sets her apart. As the go-getter prepares herself to represent the country on the world stage, she carries with her the hopes and dreams of the nation.

Her journey is not just about winning a crown; it is about showcasing the beauty, talent, and resilience of the people of Botswana.

Saobe’s presence in the Teen Universe finals will undoubtedly put Botswana on the map and inspire young girls across the country to dream big and reach for the stars. “I understand the power and influence that comes with being a beauty queen, and I intend to use it to make a positive impact on society,” she said. Saobe is a shining example of beauty, talent, and compassion. As she embarks on her journey to the Teen Universe finals in the Dominican Republic, she carries with her the hopes and aspirations of a nation.

Her manager Tshepho Tlhapi said one of Saobe’s key initiatives is to promote education and empowerment amongst young girls in Botswana.

“She firmly believes that education is the key to unlocking one’s full potential and breaking the cycle of poverty.

“She is currently a student at Botswana International University of Science and Technology (BIUST),” said Tlhapi.
