Description: DM2000072006:WAED:BEAUTY:Jan 1955 - Priscilla Mtimkulu - The girl with the face that broke a thousand hearts! our photographers from all parts of Africa have sent us photographs of the prettiest girls in their areas for the past three years. But not till this year have we seen a girl with a face like Priscilla Mtimkulu's . And, to our delight, we didn't only see her picture, but saw her personally! without any doubts we claim that this 20-year-old girl from Orlando, Johannesburg, has the prettiest face that has ever appeared on a magazine cover in Africa - and I'm sure you'll agree that there have been many a pretty face on the covers. Drum's younger sister and new "wowific" magazine, 'Africa' had the privilege of being the first magazine to show the world this face that could start a revolution (Photograph by Drum Photographer © Baileys Archives) neg 420 popular culture, kissing
