Miss Namibia 2025 is Johanna Swartbooi from Vaalgras


Johanna Swartbooi was crowned Miss Namibia 2025 in a glittering national competition held on Saturday, July 19 at Ongwediva Trade Fair, Queens Hall.

The 27-year-old award-winning international model and accessory designer from Vaalgras is expected to represent Namibia at Miss Universe 2025 in Thailand this November.

Uatjiri Mbaisa and Tuilika Andreas were announced as the first and second runners-up, respectively.

The new Miss Namibia beat nine other finalists to win this year's pageant. She succeeds last year's winner Prisca Anyolo.

No stranger to pageantry, Johanna has previously placed second runner-up when she joined Miss Namibia for the first time in 2019.

"I'm overjoyed and filled with gratitude beyond words. God truly made a way for me to persevere, to rise, and to live this dream, becoming your Miss Namibia," she shared online after winning her crown.

"Thank you for the endless love, the messages, the prayers, and every single moment of support. Each word carried me through," she added.

She also wrote: "I showed up, I grew up, and I glowed up, not just for me, but for every dreamer watching. The journey has only just begun."

Johanna holds a qualification in business and marketing management, and a degree in business administration specializing in innovation and entrepreneurship.
