Miss South Africa Shudufhadzo Musida has written a children’s book – Shudu Finds Her Magic in six languages 

The book is inspired by Musida’s own childhood and the bullying she experienced when she moved to a new province and a new school.

Musida is a well-known advocate for mental health awareness, and this year launched her online mental health initiative #MindfulMondays on her Instagram platform @shudufhadzomusida, in conjunction with the South African Depression and Anxiety Group (SADAG) and Discovery Vitality.

The book is aimed at children aged between four and 12 years of age and deals with bullying and the power of friendship. I hope that youngsters will be able to see themselves reflected in the storyline and be able to take something positive away from it.
