Ms Muravha graduated earlier this year with a Bachelor of Science in Agriculture (four-year degree) and continues to exemplify the values of excellence, leadership and community impact that UMP strives to cultivate in its graduates. Her participation places her on one of the country’s leading platforms for female empowerment and social impact, which celebrates young women making meaningful contributions through leadership, purpose and community service.
A former Miss UMP (2022/23) and recipient of the UMP Arts and Culture Performer of the Year Award, Ms Muravha has represented South Africa on the 2025 Entrepreneurship Study Tour to Ireland through THENSA. She also participated in the South Africa–Germany Connect and Act Youth Exchange Programme in 2024, further strengthening her leadership and global engagement.
"I am incredibly grateful to everyone who supported me throughout the voting period. Should voting reopen or additional public voting opportunities become available, updates will be shared across my social media platforms."
The 22-year-old entrepreneur is the founder of Crimson Creative, an initiative that hosts free webinars, workshops and awareness campaigns that expose young people to opportunities within the digital economy while connecting them with industry experts.
"I believe that digital skills are no longer optional. They are essential for economic participation and for creating sustainable livelihoods," she said, adding that the University of Mpumalanga has played a significant role in shaping both her leadership journey and entrepreneurial mindset.
During her time at UMP, she was actively involved with the University of Mpumalanga Centre for Entrepreneurship and Rapid Incubator (UMPCFERI), where she gained valuable experience in entrepreneurship, innovation, business pitching and enterprise development.
"The UMPCFERI was particularly transformative. It exposed me to practical business principles, entrepreneurship, innovation, pitching and enterprise development – lessons I continue to apply in my business ventures today.
"My roles across various University organisations strengthened my leadership, teamwork, communication, project coordination, discipline and time management skills. Together, these experiences taught me that success is built not only on great ideas but also on strategic leadership, collaboration and creating meaningful value for communities."
Balancing entrepreneurship, public engagements and her various responsibilities requires discipline and careful planning, according to Ms Muravha. "Above all, I remain disciplined and purpose-driven. When you are clear about your vision, managing multiple responsibilities becomes less about finding time and more about making deliberate choices that move you closer to your goals."
