Wheelchair to a throne: Meet MWI Phenomenal Miss 2023~25
Nikita Scott

Welcome to MWI/MMI division of Phenomenal.

A national/international non-profit pageant created just for young women & men with special needs and challenges. 

This competition embraces the strengths, ambitions, character and accomplishments of each contestant, giving them the opportunity to put the difficulties and obstacles of their everyday world aside and dream LARGE………

Not only are these young ladies & men Magnificent, they truly prove that they are "PHENOMENAL"

The inaugural event took place in the exciting city of Cape Town, SA, 2022.  The competition is currently open to young women & men from the ages of 18-40.

Young Atlantis activist, Nikita Scott, is on a roll. 

The 20-year-old singer, activist, model, and community worker was crowned the MWI Phenomenal Miss South Africa on Saturday in her hometown. Nikita, who opened a soup kitchen earlier this month, said she was overwhelmed by the news that she was selected to join a bevy of royalties who form part of the MWI (Magnificent Women Icon) Phenomenal International Pageant for Special Needs People.

The wheelchair-bound woman was crowned in a special ceremony held with previous royalties. They recognized the work Nikita was doing while her story of overcoming trials and tribulations in her young life was deemed exceptional and inspirational. Nikita was injured in a car accident when she was 17. The then Grade 10 pupil got a lift home with her friend and as their car stood at a red robot, they were hit. Nikita was in a coma for two weeks and left paralyzed from her hips down. But the feisty Maisie overcame her disability, and shyness, by singing on stage and starting a soup kitchen.

Nikita says: “Being crowned is unreal to me, I still think of that moment when they called my name, when they put the sash on me and the crown on my head.” Nikita looked breathtaking in her white off-the-shoulder dress with a slit and stiletto heels.

Shumeez Scott, 21, who has Downs, was the first South African to be crowned the MWI Phenomenal Miss SA in Mumbai, India in 2018.

Miss Scott captured the international title of  MWI Phenomenal Miss 2022 during the gala event at the Roxy Theater in Cape Town SA on Saturday, August 27, 2022. Miss Scott will crown her successor in August 2025.
