Little Natasha Mokgala is beautiful and intelligent. At the age of seven has been chosen to represent South Africa at an international modelling competition in Turkey.

Natasha will strut her stuff at the Miss Little Universe pageant against competitors from all over the World from June 3 to 10.

Natasha hails from Flora Park in Polokwane, Limpopo. She outclassed her contemporaries with her beautiful choreography and turns, which sent the judges and the audience wild in Centurion, Pretoria, last week, where she was crowned Miss Little Nations SA First Princess.

The Grade 2 pupil at Oos Skool Pietersburg in Polokwane also walked away with jewellery and other valuable prizes.

But her dream to compete in Turkey depends on her parents raising R75000 needed for airfare, accommodation, costumes and catering.

Her unemployed mother Kholo is looking for help to realise her daughter's dream.

Last year she won the Miss Photogenic competition.
