This new hosting role adds another solid milestone to her career built on visibility, versatility, and presence. From live television and award shows to red carpets and brand collaborations, she has built a reputation for precision and consistency. Taking on Miss Cosmo places her on one of the year’s biggest entertainment stages and extends her influence well beyond South Africa’s borders.

Vietnam will host the pageant for the second consecutive year, with the finale scheduled for 20 December 2025 at Creativity Park in Ho Chi Minh City. The Miss Cosmo organization has positioned the event as more than a traditional pageant; it will merge culture, music, and global tourism in a celebration of creativity and diversity.

The 2025 edition will focus on the concept of “Impactful Beauty,” highlighting leadership, cultural awareness, and social purpose. In that context, her selection feels fitting. Over the years, she has earned recognition not only for her media work but also for her ability to connect with audiences across backgrounds. Her hosting style combines warmth, authority, and a touch of polish qualities that align seamlessly with a platform dedicated to ambition and representation.

Organizers have confirmed that she will be present throughout key activities leading up to the finale. Her participation once again highlights how South African talent continues to earn its place on global stages, not through trend-chasing but through consistent excellence.

For Matheba, it marks another opportunity to do what she does best: command attention with presence and purpose. Vietnam may be the venue, but the spotlight will undoubtedly follow her.
