I am Ntsoaki Chantal Mabaso, a dynamic and people oriented last born of six. As the youngest and the only girl, I hold a unique position in my family. My name Ntsoaki, fittingly translates to "one in many" reflecting my status amongst brothers. While my childhood was spent as the sole female sibling, adulthood brought with it a surprising twist. Two older sisters, previously unknown to me, emerged as my father's daughters, addying a new dimension to my family dynamics.
I am 41 years old, born and raised in Diepkloof, Soweto and currently residing in Pretoria East, Gauteng. I am a proud parent of a multi-talented 16 year old daughter, named Retshepile Nandi Mabaso.
I am a seasoned professional in the Media and Entertainment industry, holding a Degree in Corporate Communications from the University of Johannesburg. I also have qualifications in Accredited Management Practice and a Post Graduate Diploma in Management Practice from Henley Business School. I have also enriched my knowledge through various short courses at the Gordon Institute of Business

Outside of my professional life, I am a fervent Formula 1 enthusiast and a music lover. Singing brings me peace and humility. I am a self proclaimed foodie, with a love for seafood, pasta and traditional dishes. Cooking for my loved ones is one of my greatest joys, although I must admit, baking is not my forte. That said, if you ever offer me a brownie, be rest assured it will disappear in seconds.
"THERE IS NOTHING AS IMPACTFUL AS COLLABORATING FOR GREAT RESULTS, AND HOLDING SOMEONE'S HAND AS YOU GROW"
Queen Ntsoaki
Growing up under the care of a single mother, following the loss of my father at the age of twelve, I was witness to her strength and resilience. Her determination and optimism shaped me into the strong, driven woman I am today.
As we stand in the year 2024, it deeply saddens me to acknowledge that Gender-Based Violence and Femicide continue to plague our country and the world at large. Each day, we are confronted with harrowing stories of women who have endured violence or have been tragically murdered by their intimate partners.
As Miss Bachelorette South Africa, I want to adopt an approach of prevention is better than cure to combat this harrowing pandemic. My goal is to inspire young minds to shape the future. To go into communities, schools and use social media to educate people about the importance of leading by example as parents and adults. To teach people that everyone has the responsibility to echo, live and adopt the values of respect, equality and consent. There is nothing as impactful as collaborating for great results and holding someone’s hand as you grow. Always strive for interactions that foster growth and development, both for yourself and those around you.
As we strive to build a nation that acknowledges and promotes female advancement and growth, my objective is to foster an environment that empowers men to collaborate with and appreciate successful women. A space that encourages them to view women as allies and collaborators, rather than as threats.
