Tshwane executive mayor Father Smangaliso Mkhatshwa on Friday wished Miss South Africa, Joan Ramagoshi, bon voyage prior to her departure for China where she will be attending the Miss World pageant.

The mayor met Ramagoshi at his Pretoria offices yesterday to offer his support. He wished her well and expressed his appreciation for her role as a representative of South Africa.

"I wish you all the best with your endeavours in China and am sure you will represent our country to the best of your ability," he said.

Mkatshwa also thanked Ramagoshi for making Tshwane known to a broader international audience and presented her with a book documenting Tshwane's cultural heritage.

Ramagoshi said although nervous, she was excited about the prospect of travelling to China for the Miss World Pageant.

"It will be a wonderful opportunity to meet the other contestants and experience Chinese culture," said Ramagoshi.

During the pageant contestants would help with charity work in China's poorer communities, she said.

"We will be involved in charity work and I am looking forward to the challenge."

Ramagoshi leaves for China on Sunday and will spend a month travelling through its various provinces as part of the Miss World experience.

On Friday, Ramagoshi also met President Mbeki in Pretoria.
