Mkhize, known for his charisma on South African TV, is a practicing medical doctor who is no stranger to the international stage. In 2019, Mkhize flew the SA flag high as the 1st runner-up in Mister World 2019 in the Philippines.
On Thursday, Mkhize graciously accepted his crown from 2023 Mister Supranational, Iván Álvarez Guedes from Spain.
Mkhize’s win marks a victory for South Africa, becoming the second nation to receive titles in both Miss and Mister Supranational. Furthermore, Mkhize is the first black male to win the competition overall – Africa to the world!
Taking to social media to congratulate Mkhize and welcome him to the family as Mister Supranational, the organisation wrote:
“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!”
