Pageantry
[edit]Miss Supranational 2026
[edit]Benting's first pageant was Miss African Beauty 2026 where she reached the top 30.[1][2] On the 6th June 2026, she won Miss African Beauty Supranational 2026 and Miss Supranational South Africa 2026.[3][4][5] In July 2026, she will represent South Africa at Miss Supranational in Poland.[6][7] During the international stage of the competition, Benting shared a video where she took the opportunity to address South African mothers directly:
I'm honoured to represent bold and diverse South Africa. I'm a model and content creator' but my greatest achievement is being a mother. I'm here to remind all women, and especially mothers, that you can do it all, you can be it all, and you can have it all – with a child on your hip. Because we are fully capable of carrying both a child and a dream.[8]
