When Botseetse Kgaphola was born with epilepsy, which affected her spine, no one could have imagined the heights she would reach.
Earlier this month, Kgapola, 29, from Mamone in the Sekhukhune district in Limpopo, was crowned Miss SA Disability 2025/26, turning what many saw as a limitation into a crown and celebration.
Initially, Kgapola could walk, but one day in her 20s, she woke up to an event that changed her life forever - she had become wheelchair-bound.
