“I’ve dreamt about being a beauty queen my entire life, growing up with my dad who is a broadcasting engineer, who filmed many of the pageants in South Africa, and my mom who was dressing me up with my crown on so many birthdays when I was younger. It’s truly a dream that became a reality."
“No African country has yet to win a crown, I will be the first doctor/surgeon sent from any African country and I’m hoping I will be the first to bring home the crown."

Ferini also made it to the Miss South Africa (Miss SA) top 30 in 2021 and was one of two doctors to do so, The Star reported.

The stunner has her own charity called Dayal Foundation, with her organisation aiming to make a difference in the lives of under-resourced South Africans through medical advocacy and fundraising.

She told IOL that taking part in Miss International aligns with her values and charitable endeavours, with the platform allowing her to make a bigger difference.

“Over the last year and a half, my foundation has raised over a million rand in various projects which aim to educate the public on health topics, eradicate poverty and hunger, improve access to health and basic health needs, and these coincide with the goals of the United Nations,” she said.

The finals of the pageant will be held on 13 December in Tokyo in Japan, with ladies from around the world hoping to be crowned Miss International 2022.
