Harashta Haifa Zahra has made history by becoming Indonesia’s first-ever Miss Supranational, marking a significant achievement for the nation and the Asian continent. The 20-year-old beauty, hailing from Bandung, West Java, was crowned Miss Supranational 2024 after competing against contestants from 67 countries and territories in Nowy Sącz, Poland, on July 6, 2024. Zahra’s victory follows her triumph in the 2024 Puteri Indonesia national beauty pageant, where she earned the opportunity to represent Indonesia on the international stage.
Zahra’s win adds to the pride of her home province, as she continues the legacy of excellence following Farhana Nariswari’s

victory in the 2023 Puteri Indonesia contest. The Miss Supranational pageant, organized by the World Beauty Association, has been a prestigious platform since its inception in 2009, alongside its male counterpart, Mister Supranational. On their official Instagram, Miss Supranational announced, “Harashta Haifa Zahra (20) from Bandung City, West Java was crowned the 15th #misssupranational at the conclusion of the live final show in #nowysacz #malopolska.”
Upon receiving the crown from Andrea Aguilera, the Ecuadorian model and 2023 titleholder, Zahra, an environmental engineering student at Bandung’s National Institute of Technology (ITENAS), expressed her overwhelming pride and gratitude. “It still feels unreal and I can’t wait to fulfill my duties as the new #misssupranational2024. It’s going to be a very special year and my heart is filled with pride,” she shared. Zahra also thanked her supporters, saying, “Thank you to my country for your support. #indonesia we did it!” Her reign promises to be a year of inspiration and dedication as she embraces her role on the global stage.

The 8th edition of the Mister Supranational pageant took place in the picturesque city of Nowy Sącz, Lesser Poland, where contestants from around the world competed for the prestigious title. Among them, Fezile Mkhize, a medical doctor and television host, stood out with his charisma, intelligence, and elegance. Known for its cutting-edge, high-fashion television production, the Mister Supranational pageant aims to revolutionize the industry by discovering new talent and creating instant celebrities. Since its inception in 2016, the pageant has become a premier platform for aspiring models and television personalities.
In a heartfelt Facebook post, the Mister Supranational Organization warmly welcomed Mkhize, stating, “Dr Fez Mkhize, a medical doctor and television host from South Africa, was named the 8th ‘Mister Supranational’ at the conclusion of the 2024 Experience in Nowysacz Malopolska tonight. He will take on the role as the new brand ambassador of the Mister Supranational Organization for the next year. Welcome to the ‘Supra Family’ Fez!” With this win, Mkhize’s success highlights the power of perseverance and passion in breaking barriers and making history. Iván Álvarez Guedes from Spain, the previous titleholder, graciously passed the crown to Mkhize on July 4, 2024. This victory is groundbreaking, as Mkhize becomes the first black winner of the competition, setting a powerful example for diversity and inclusion in global pageantry.
