Miss Mpumalanga Teen, an organisation specifically designed for the teenagers of our province is trading under PKED Enterprises which was founded in 2014 by Diketso Mashego, created to host spectacular events throughout the Mpumalanga province through planning, hard work and market evaluation.
They strongly believe that developing role models at a young age will entice their passion and ability to inspire everyone around them. We need to teach and install selflessness and acceptance of others in our finalists and other teenagers in the world to better our tomorrow. We need to equip them with the ability to overcome obstacles so they can continue and motivate others just as our first ever winner Limpho Nkuna is doing until this very day.
