Nyasha Zimucha 2008 -2009 (Miss Africa USA From South Africa)
NYASHA -(NEE-YA-SHA) Miss Africa USA, is a native of the South Africa, sharing the same hometown as Charlize Theron. Nyasha, grew up during the apartheid era, speaks 5 languages and is an avid spokeswoman for her “Global Citizen Campagin”, all inclusive to her being a singer, professional dancer, model and tv personality.
The Global Citizen Campaign (GCC) is a movement Nyasha developed in 2008 in response to the xenophobic violent attacks in South Africa. “Nelson Mandela taught me the message of ubuntu –which simply says that I am who I am because of those around me. “ The GCC is broken down into 5 humanitarian issues across the globe –and 5 organizations that focus in those areas, which the GCC supports. These five sectors being education, healthcare, human rights , livelihood and US troops rehabilitation. “Instead of only starting my own cause I wanted to support existing causes that I believe in.” Through these tough economic times Nyasha feels now is the most important time to stand together as global citizens.
