It’s not just about modelling, it’s about helping

-

I AM 20 years old, originally from Port Elizabeth, but residing in Cape Town and studying public relations management at CPUT. I am filled with zest and am very action-oriented.

I like using the term social butterfly to describe myself, due to my charismati­c traits and the fact that I love to break any social boundaries placed upon us. I was nominated as one of the brand ambassador­s for Miss Eagle South Africa 2018.

Miss Eagle South Africa is a modelling pageant that is about beauty, brilliance, empowering women and gaining leadership skills, but most importantl­y focusing on giving back to the community and contributi­ng towards community upliftment.

I wasn't always interested in modelling as I had a passion for public speaking, which inspired my decision to join the debate club in high school.

This also assisted me in building my confidence, as I was known to be very quiet.

My interest in modelling was sparked after a few people had told me that I had the physical appearance of a model.

I therefore gave it a chance by entering some local pageants such as Mr and Ms CPUT and even though I never won, they were experience­s that I could never forget as they helped me realise that modelling was my passion.

I became very interested in becoming one of the Miss Eagle South Africa 2018 contestant­s, after I read that one of their main aims is to give back to the community because I always felt the need to help others.

I became extremely interested in the competitio­n after I realised that two of my passions, modelling and helping others, could be actualised by entering the competitio­n.

While being a Miss Eagle South Africa contestant, I had the pleasure of working with amazing non-profit government organisati­ons such as Women Of Hope, which is an organisati­on that aims to improve the living conditions of the poor, and Food For Life, which is an organisati­on that works towards feeding the homeless in the Western Cape.

I was intrigued by the competitio­n as it not only focuses on beauty, but on building and improving yourself as an individual, while empowering others to do the same. Being a Miss Eagle contestant was a lot of hard work, but thanks to my amazing team I was able to make it to the next round and become a brand ambassador.

My goal is to be known, but to be known as a good person and to be able to build a legacy that will pave the way for the future generation­s.

In order for me to move to the semifinals next year April, it is all dependent on votes. I hope to reach the finals and the contestant­s will be announced in June. Voting lines will be open throughout. Facebook : Asiphe Nompozolo brand ambassador Western Cape
