Justice Johnpaul Figuareido, 27, of Eswatini has made history as the first ever Mister Frontier Africa. On December 21, 2025, CONAN Daily selected the Swazi footballer as the country’s candidate in the inaugural edition of Mister Frontier International.
The publication established the exclusive digital search to spotlight the last frontiers of beauty pageants, which include Eswatini. This ensures that by the end of 2025, every country and territory has a representative celebrated in pageantry.
Eswatini is a landlocked country known as one of the last absolute monarchies of Africa. Formerly known as Swaziland, the country has been a member of the United Nations since September 24, 1968.

Born in Mbabane, Eswatini, Figuareido began his football journey in the South African top flight with Maritzburg United in 2018 before moving through several clubs including Mbombela United, TS Galaxy and Cape Town All Stars. Known for his ability to play both as a center-forward and on the wings, he spent two productive seasons at Richards Bay FC where he made over 50 appearances between 2023 and 2025. In August 2025, he made a high-profile move to Chippa United where he currently wears the number 9 jersey and continues to be a regular starter in the Betway Premiership.
On the international stage, Figuareido is a vital component of the Eswatini national football team, having earned over 20 caps since his debut in 2018. He has represented his country in various prestigious competitions, including the COSAFA Cup, Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) Qualifiers and FIFA World Cup Qualifiers. One of his standout international performances occurred in October 2025 when he scored a crucial brace in a 2–2 draw against Angola during a World Cup qualification match.
