South Africa's Fezile Mkhize wins Mister Supranational 2024
Fezile Mkhize from South Africa was proclaimed Mister Supranational 2024 on Thursday, July 4 at the Strzelecki Park Amphitheater in Nowy Sącz, Poland.
The 33-year-old medical doctor and television presenter hailing from Port Shepstone in KwaZulu Natal bested 35 other competitors to win the coveted international title for the first time for South Africa. He succeeds Iván Álvarez Guedes, last year's winner from Spain.
Casey De Vries of the Netherlands was named first runner-up while Brandon Espiritu of the Philippines, Marcos De Freitas of Venezuela, and Sanonh Maniphonh were the second, third, and fourth runners-up, respectively.
This year's event marked the 8th edition of Mister Supranational. The new Mister Supranational from South Africa made another history as the first-ever black winner of the pageant.
Prior to his victory on the supra stage, the former Mr World South Africa and Mr World 2019 first runner-up, was announced as the winner of Mister Supranational South Africa 2024 last April in Pretoria.
For his final question at the Mister Supranational 2024 final, he talked about his humble beginnings and the power of a dream. He shared his grandmother was a maid who wanted to get a higher education and how he fulfilled her dream when he became a doctor.
"Dreams only expire when we do. And sometimes if they're strong enough they live on past you... they will always live on, that's the power of a dream."
