Pearl Thandiwe Ndhlovu is a 21 year old Miss Tourism Globe SA 2021. She was born in Nelspruit Mpumalanga and currently residing in Pietermaritzburg KZN. She completed her third year studying Financial Accounting at the Durban University of Technology this year.
Seeing that she gets a lot of girls that come to her asking about the modeling industry and how they can enter she had this to say on being ready to enter the pageant industry.
I think that when girls or rather anyone thinks about entering the
modeling industry they mostly only focus on the exposure and bypass the fact that this industry although fun and glam filled requires a lot of self-sacrifice and that you need to be ready emotionally, mentally and physically for any rejection, nepotism, body shaming, colorism and discrimination that they may face and that they need to be able to take the pressure that comes with it because majority of the time you are in the public eye even if you are just new and upcoming in the industry so in closing I’d like to encourage everyone to go for their dreams but also ensuring that they are fully prepared and mentally ready for whatever may come and in doing so they will understand that even if their crown may slip it will never ever fall.
Winning the Miss Tourism Globe SA 2021 was a delightful moment as it was completely unexpected especially since Miss
Teen Tourism Globe SA was the first pageant that she had got to compete in. “I honestly had the shock of my life when I heard my name called as one of the top 3 finalists and then announced Miss Tourism Globe SA 2021. I think it took me about a week to finally get used to being called Miss Tourism Globe SA as I was still in disbelief.”
Her accomplishments include: Being invited as a guest speaker by The Msunduzi municipality in partnership with the Department of Arts and Culture for the Msunduzi Fashion fair.
- I was invited to be part of a team developing a climate fiction project called World was: The Adventures of Asante to aid in the fight to curb climate change.
- I was granted my first judging opportunity at Miss Kwandengezi.
“I believe that the crown has also awarded me the opportunity to Help other young girls in moving closer to achieve their dreams and has also pushed to work even harder when it comes to my project in feeding the homeless.” She added Have you ever faced abuse in the modeling industry?
I don’t think I have faced direct abuse but there are some issues such as the height restriction in
the model industry that has had an effect on me and has taken a few opportunities from me. What do you think should be done to these restrictions?
I personally do not think that these restrictions should be the defining factor as to whether a person is able or unable to do a job for example I do not think that my height can outweighs the fact that I have an exceptional work ethic. Flexibility is needed in our restrictions so that everyone is given equal opportunities and if we do not see and acknowledge the different aspects of beauty and that beauty is not of one standard if we do not look pass some beauty “standards” our industry can never move forward. When asked where do you see yourself in the next five years she said “In the next five years I see a lot of growth especially when it comes to pageantry I am aiming for few more titles as I hope to enter a few more pageants both nationally and internationally and I see myself as more of a heavyweight instead of an underdog in the pageant industry in the next five years I would have reached a few of my goals in being of service to my community such as being able to provide free sanitary pads to the homeless and in my personal life I see myself furthering my educational career in the accounting field.”
Seeing that I get a lot of girls that come to me asking about the modeling industry and how they can enter I think I’d just like add or rather speak on being ready to enter the pageant industry.
I think that when girls or rather anyone thinks about entering the modeling industry they mostly only focus on the exposure and bypass the fact that this industry although fun and glam filled requires a lot of self-sacrifice and that you need to be ready emotionally, mentally and physically for any rejection, nepotism, body shaming, colorism and discrimination that they may face and that they need to be able to take the pressure that comes with it because majority of the time
you are in the public eye even if you are just new and upcoming in the industry so in closing I’d like to encourage everyone to go for their dreams but also ensuring that they are fully prepared and mentally ready for whatever may come and in doing so they will understand that even if their crown may slip it will never ever fall.
Modeling careers can be great and fulfilling, but, if you make the wrong moves, you could find yourself in a bit of a tough situation. Don’t let these common mistakes derail your modeling career!
All new models will have some basic start-up expenses at some point, but becoming a fashion model shouldn’t involve spending thousands of dollars to get started. Until you know for sure that an agency is interested in representing you, you should keep your spending to a minimum.
While professional photo shoots may be a great experience and modeling classes can be fun, they are unnecessary when you are first starting out. The most important thing to do when first starting out is to have some basic snapshots and to be seen by as many modeling agents and scouts as possible.
New models often don’t appreciate the importance of snapshots. In fact, snapshots, or what agents call “Polaroids” or “Digitals”, are more important than professional photos. Snapshots allow agents to clearly see your bone structure, the health of your skin and hair, and your body
proportions such as the length or your neck, arms, and legs. Agents and scouts want to see a clean canvas and how you look naturally. They don’t want you to mask your potential with too much makeup or photos that have been touched up.
Emailing or mailing your photos is usually the first point of communication between new models and agencies. How you present yourself in an email or letter says a lot about how you will present yourself to clients. Spelling errors or language that is too familiar or casual for business correspondence will often lead to agents and clients hitting the delete button or tossing your material in the wastebasket. Always keep your emails and correspondence concise, to the point and free of unnecessary personal information. Also, always use your spell checker
It may sound strange but wanting to be a model really, really badly isn’t necessarily a good thing. It can cloud your judgment. Every day I receive emails from new models who say they will “do anything to become a model.” Huh. What exactly does “anything” mean? For reputable agents, this is a red flag. Agents don’t want to represent models
who are willing to compromise their integrity for a booking or contract.
If an agent, client or photographer puts you in a compromising situation you shouldn’t walk, you should run!
Don’t limit yourself to just one market. If you want to become the next Tyra Banks, Coco Rocha or Gisele you must work internationally. You don’t need to have representation in every market to get started, but being seen by agencies in a multitude of markets will significantly increase your chances of obtaining representation.
It is difficult for anyone to hear that their “look” isn’t right on a daily basis. Whatever an agent or client thinks of your particular look never has anything to do with who you are as a person. Models are chosen and rejected based on a multitude of factors; a client may not book a model simply because they look exactly like another model booked for the shoot, or that they have too many blondes and need a brunette. Please don’t internalize these messages. The fact that you have been asked to audition for a job or meet with an agent means they like you, and that’s always a good thing.
Alaska, the first Korean-American woman to hold the title, also a first for her home state. She was awarded a record $100,000 in scholarships to assist in her pursuit of a biomedical sciences degree at the Honors College at Arizona State University. “I’ll be heading to medical school after I graduate, and I was going to have to choose based on cost. I’ve always had to work two jobs to pay for college; This is a life-changing amount of money,” she shared via Zoom.
When a storied brand like Miss America reimagined the status quo, eyebrows furrowed and hands raised asking–why? Because it’s time. One hundred years of pageantry encompasses a proud history, but there’s so much more to explore and unpack than who designed the candidates’ evening dresses. These are women who have spent years making it to the grand stage. Their confidence is beautiful and their leadership and ambitious pursuits break barriers beyond the normal. They are the embodiment of role models we want for our younger generation. Miss America is no longer a pageant, it’s a scholarship competition. A great emphasis has been placed on sharing a more accurate portrayal of women (the swimsuit competition was eliminated in 2018 - as well as all judging on physical appearance), and the leadership and social impact initiatives the state candidates champion, including STEM, body positivity, gender equity, entrepreneurship and female empowerment.
Broyles will spend the year traveling and sharing her social platform – Community through the Special Olympics. Her drive to raise awareness for this cause comes from her heart, her older brother has Down syndrome. “It was also really amazing to be able to speak about my struggles with ADHD. I felt quite vulnerable. I asked myself, ‘Is this something I should say on stage with hundreds of thousands of people watching?’” And she did, making Miss America that much more relatable and real.
Interviewing Miss America with female founders from FoundedByHer.The Female Quotient As a special surprise, three female founders from FoundedByHer joined the Zoom call. When they asked for Broyles’ advice, she acknowledged that female entrepreneurs do not get nearly enough recognition, and told them, “Maintain a sense of open-mindedness, be empathetic and compassionate, and be open to the stories of others.” She added, “It’s incredibly important to have diverse backgrounds and opinions and especially in the workplace, because that’s how we’re going to move forward as a society.”
Miss America 2022 is Emma Broyles, Miss
Collectively, the 51 candidates received a historic $435,500 in scholarship assistance during the 100th anniversary competition week. The Miss
America Organization (MAO) awards over $5 million in scholarships a year at the local, state and national program levels in total. From broadcast journalism, medicine to law or public policy, there is no field they don’t intend to crush. Here’s how they plan to close the gender gap: “Education is the bridge to equity, and as a first-generation Indian American woman, it is my education and professional background that allows me to break glass ceilings everyday. These scholarships have supported me to turn my passion for business and diversity and inclusion into advocacy for real change in my community.” said Sapna Raghavan, Miss Connecticut, who is pursuing a graduate degree in public policy. “Without the degree, interview skills, and the scholarships that the MAO provided me, I never would have landed a job in the number four TV market right out of college. I can now work towards obtaining a master’s in broadcast journalism to one day educate the next generation of newscasters,” said Alyssa Sullivan, Miss New Jersey.
Karson Pennington, Miss Georgia shared, “One day I’ll be Dr. Pennington because of the $20,000 plus I’ve earned from competing in the MAO. I hope to become a collegiate professor, publish my research on the judiciary level, and inspire other young women to use their voice in politics.”
The Sisterhood of Healthy Competition While some may imagine the behind-the-scenes environment to be tense and nerve-inducing, the candidates shared how they’ve built relationships that will last long after they’ve walked off stage. “I’ve had friends ask what the atmosphere is really like during the competition and I’ve found the following quote to be quite accurate: ‘One woman’s success is not your failure.’ In a room full of future doctors, lawyers, secretaries of state, educators, and business owners, it’s easy to see how each Miss America candidate is highly motivated and extremely accomplished. But what’s so incredible is that behind each extensive resume, there is a compassionate, thoughtful, and sincere servant leader,” said Alyssa Slohn, Miss Maryland.
Courtney Choy, Miss Hawaii, shared how their roots will grow: “On the island of Oʻahu in Hawaiʻi, a legacy tree was planted for each one of my competition sisters. To me, these trees not only reflect my state’s commitment to reforestation and environmental stewardship - they also
reflect the bond that I want to have with our class forever.”
In December, the great reimagination of Miss America took shape and returned in a new and enhanced format on NBCU’s streaming service, Peacock, giving viewers the opportunity to see the event live across all time zones. To learn more, I spoke with Shenan Reed, MAO board member and head of media at L’Oréal USA, who shared why she’s excited for what’s to come. “This is an organization that helps women from all over the country build networks and skills not easily learned in other places. It’s also providing a platform for them to create impact for their social initiatives and be role models for the next generation.” Said Shantel Krebs, interim president and CEO of MAO, “Miss America has taken the lead and rewritten the rules of competition, and we’ve received such amazing support from Verizon, LinkedIn and Stacy’s Pita Chips. We welcome other like-minded organizations to get involved and support the evolution of this iconic brand.” This is how we move closer to gender equity –by rewriting the rules and reimagining the way things have always been done. When we foster healthy competition we build lifelong bonds and provide role models for the next generation. If you can see her, you can be her.
Growing up I found myself blaming everyone around me for what was going wrong in my life. Even in my romantic relationships, when things went south, it was always her fault! What Ibegan to notice was a lack of accountability when relating with my fellow human beings.
Now one might ask,what does this have to do with modelling? Well, it has everything to do with modelling! Many of us are expecting people to prop us through massaging our egos into achieving our goals. Yes here’s the honest truth- only 2% of the people in our lives truly care. Everyone else is just self absorbed, and just as busy looking for someone to massage their egos too. So my advice to you is to focus solely on what you want
for yourself and magnify your vision to the end goal . Because the honest truth is, as you grow, you will lose people along the way. Your cheerleaders will not always be there, neither will your “ego massagers”. That is part of the journey called life. Yet while doggedly pursuing your end goal, remember that you may fall short along the way. So be very mindful of your own personal patterns that are hindering you because you are the master of your own Destiny.
I am the beautiful beam of light, Mbonani Constance, a 17 years old young Queen from Mpumalanga, KwaMhlanga. I am kind, brave, BOLD and GLAMOROUS. Confidence is my middle name. I carry the queen ship qualities, personality, confidence and beauty. Not just beauty by a pretty face, but beauty by a pretty heart, a pretty soul and a pretty mind. A LEARDER IS PART OF WHO I AM.
I will use this platform to inspire many girls out there to believe in their capabilities of achieving their goals
2. What inspired me to join the pageant?
Growing up in a community full of young girls from disadvantaged backgrounds who lack confidence of how powerful they are and how capable they can achieve great accomplishments inspired me to enter this pageant because I believe that it will give me a platform to be a catalyst of change and a voice of hope to these young girls and inspire them that they can be the sparkle they dream to be.
My hobbies include reading, it empowers me to empathize with other people and it keeps me motivated. My other hobbies are, Journaling, finding ways of self improvement, researching on the current issue besetting people and finding ways to bring about change on these issues.
4. What will I do if I win Miss Teen Glam SA?
I will use this platform to inspire many girls out there to believe
in their capabilities of achieving their goals and to motivate young women to create their own financial freedom through entrepreneurship and other fields they want to foray in. I believe that lack of finance is one of the greatest issues besetting our people today and I want to use this platform to be a catalyst of change and an inspiration to these women to be their own boss but above all I will carry this title with utmost dignity, pride, honour and joy in everything that I do as it is not only a pageant title but a
great responsibility.
It has been a great opportunity I’m forever grateful for. Miss Teen Glam is one of the pageants that have helped shape the view of myself, to be a resourceful and an ambitious being I’ve always been. Not only has it knocked doors of empowerment but also boosted up my confidence, networking, perseverance and resilience
l never look at competition but work on how to make myself a better person.
There is something that is not out there and I need to put it out there
The Miss Glam South Africa is all about empowering girls/ women, to encourage them in knowing/understanding of the basics of business or rather the fundamental elements of business Ofentse has learnt about character building, being confident in everything that she do because for the longest time she has struggled with being confident due to being bullied for her weight (being skinny), it has taught her patience through the given tasks. Lastly it has taught her to get out of her comfort zone if she wants something. Another lesson that she learnt is that you need to be okay with being uncomfortable for growth since she’s a person who is antisocial, has social anxiety, she sees progress ever since she has entered this pageant because these tasks require her to go out there and socialise The final event is on the 10th of December
When asked “Who do you see as the strongest competition and
why” she said “To be quite honest I don’t see anyone. Because I believe my strongest competition is myself and how I choose to walk out of this pageant. And also because I believe looking too much into it leads to comparison which leads low self-esteem and you just end up frustrated with yourself for not feeling or rather looking good enough”
Besides modeling what Ofentse likes playing sports and she’s currently still finding ways to go about starting her own business. The fact that she wanted to overcome this fear (social anxiety) and also the fact that through it she can become a better person as she finds it encouraging. To show those that are just like her that they can still get up and do it Message to other models
A message to the other models since being a woman in this society is never an easy thing well it’d be that they are more than just a pretty face, smile and body. But they are a carrier of life. So they should be encouraged by positivity, by their strength and
intelligence and their minds as it holds aspirations and the desire of chasing their dreams and goals to making them a reality
Community Projects Well since we’ve been given a task (community project ) I am planning on doing at least 2 of those if possible First one is to go to an orphanage ,cook (give them food), give out clothes and run some entertainment and the other one is to visit maybe SPCA or just an animal vet
: Being recognised as a brand ambassador was a honour as the title comes with great responsibilities to the Mr and Miss World Heritage Pageant.
I believe every one of the kings was great competition in a way because they all had different strengths that made the competition stiff.
Now that you have won. What’s next?
As a child sent by infini talent management to represent the country...I will carry out some projects under the guidance of Mr Nigel Shamu the national patron for Mr and Miss World Heritage Zimbabwe as well as Miss Nokuthaba Ngulube who is the pageant national director.
What is this pageant all about? The pageant is about celebrating cultural diversity across the
globe as well as promoting peace and unity in the world.
If you could change one thing about Social media, what would it be?
The negative impact it had when it falls prey to wrong hands.
How do you manage your time between modeling, work and life?
Honestly it’s never easy but all hard work to interweave the three together!...but however ..a
man has to do what he has to do in life, prioritizing on the most important at that particular moment and division of time is also important
Tell me more about the struggles you’ve faced and are facing and how you are overcoming them. Honestly as a human being....I go through a lot too in life, but I constantly remind myself of where I came from....how hard I have worked for everything I have....the sacrifices and all...then I tell myself that as it has happened before, victory is inevitable..... But before everything else I pray to God
Have you ever laughed at a wrong moment?
Honestly speaking..... People who know me very well can testify how I cannot hold back laughter.....I am always laughing...and laughing at wrong places has happened a lot in my life
What’s the dumbest way you’ve been injured?
Falling off the chair while I was trying to fish my clothes that had fallen on our neighbour’s yard
Challenges are part and parcel of life. You cannot separate challenges from life. Challenges makes a man to be stronger and wiser at the same time. A successful man in the city knows much better on how to deal with tough situations. No man can be exempted from this category unless graveyard is your place.
Tell me, what is the benefit of stressing yourself? No matter how terrible the situation might be, learn to stabilize your
emotions. Always keep your head above the water. Simply because stress is caused by overthinking. Over thinking is a way of surrendering your power towards the situation. What you name, you can control it. Be sober and open your eyes widely and start to see things in a different way, stop making everything mean more than it is. See things as they really are and do not overreact when you encounter a terrible situation.
Unmet expectations usually create stress and uncessary pressure especially when you
expected “A” but got “ B “. Here is the question, how do you respond when the crisis arise will dictate the impact it has on your life? Stress is very common. Some of the factors which can cause high levels of stress are job loss, death of your loved one, getting pregnant at a younger age or impregnate someone’s child, divorce, financial loss, to fail examinations or interview, just mentioned a few.
We all mess up and make mistakes . The real deal is to confront the issue and iron it out before it grows bigger. Be brutal honest with yourself. There is no need to sugar coat your situation. If you do not have a capacity to handle your situation alone, look for another person who can help you through out the journey. It might be the person whom you trust or professional counsellors. Make peace with yourself. Forgive yourself, if you feel that you have done something wrong to yourself. Simply because if you bottle up your emotions
inside of you and carry them all over you go and you will definitely project them onto everyone you come in contact with.
Stress is not part of external forces, it is within your body. There is nothing good that stress can do to a man but it can destroy a man by causing negative effects. As a result of this, it can affect sleeping or eating pattern as well as psychologically. Time will never make things better. Take action as quickly as possible to solve any problem that you are facing in your life. Emotional intelligence will never prevent you to encounter obstacles but it gives you an ability to deal with obstacles wisely.

Im 17 years old, I chose modelling because I’ve always admired the way models are treated I have always loved watching them on TV always gave me Goosebumps My role model is Onalerona, I love the way she handles herself, talks and walk. Onalerona just motivates me.
In the next 5 years I believe I will be one of the most recognised model, I would have competed
and won in many pageants. In addition to that I see myself on billboards and international magazines
I give thanks Lewis Nyamakosi and my sister for always motivating me whenever I feel like giving up
To young upcoming models I say be patient because you just don’t just wake up out of the blue moon and become a superstar but you have to work for it
Im 21 years old. I am a runway and a beauty pageant model. I live in Damafalls Park, Harare. I started modeling at the age of 20 because MODELLING was my passion. I have participated at Miss Fabulous Zimbabwe, Malawi Runway, ZimTrade and Sankara Fashion Show. Besides modelling I am a beauty therapist also a karataker
If I had a chance one thing I would change about modeming is change professional ethics, the way the models are treated at some functions and gigs
In the next five years, I see myself as a big top model, l see my self representing the country lifting our National flag high amongst top international models
To other upcoming models, be who you are don’t exaggerate also be loyal and work towards your dreams you will reach the destination
Memory Pearl Garande is my name aged 22 I am a Sociologist in the making and I’m also a Philanthropist, I believe in giving back to the community, I recently donated sanitary wear to the girl child in Masvingo at Ndarama High school together with my colleagues from school. Currently studying Sociology at GZU,I have a strong connection with society simply, because it’s the one that made me the person that I am today and still learning more from it and that’s why I chose Sociology as my degree. The passion for modelling started as a Toddler when I was in grade 7 and it started with me now dressing people with sheets and pins during high school variety shows it was amazing and those we used to dress went on to win and I just told myself why can’t I also do it ,then went on to do pageants in 2021 and realized that I was actually living my dream ,the first pageant I did well was crowned Miss Personality, then went on to participate in Miss Tertiary when I was at school in Masvingo and was crowned 2nd Runner up ,went on to participate in 2022 again in Miss Facial Beauty Zimbabwe and managed to scoop least 3 titles in one night I was so excited and kept on going went to Miss SupraEminance and managed to get a slot into the top 10 among other Pageants.
One thing I love about modelling is that you get to learn from others make sisters, have exposure to a lot of things and above all having fun and getting to know others, I don’t do modelling for competition what I mean is I don’t do it because I want to be better than someone no, I do it for fun and because it’s a passion and I love learning from other models, I learn a lot of things whenever I go for boot camp and that’s the most amazing part of it.
I believe that one day I’m going to go to International pageants and do well with the support I have from my mum and dad and friends and I believe that for with God nothing is impossible.
Now this is the advice that I would love to give my fellow sisters out there who want to join into the industry that Don’t be afraid be confident and believe in yourself that you can do it and the sky is definitely not the limit for you!.

Besides modeling what else do you do? Well I am a first year student at the University of Zimbabwe.
What one thing would you like to be changed about modeling: Well I think the issue of acknowledgement because I feel like models should be acknowledged more and the issue of discrimination as well due to race is still a problem.

Where do you see yourself in the next 5 years? I see myself on the biggest Tv shows and interviews both locally and internationally and I see myself popular and successful.

Tanaka Mukwazhi is a 21 year old model based in Harare Mount Pleasant Growing up she wasn’t very attractive and had big belly button she never felt like she belonged within her peers and then puberty happened she became that big child with a body that most girls older than her seemed to admire. That confidence daily, it wasn’t all love and hate too and she fell in love with the camera it became her love language so modeling for her is a love language, she leave a statement without having to open her mouth. She have been struggling to get anything done due to wrong agents and she was actually beginning to think the industry is just corrupt. All the male agents that were coming her way at first they seem to want to work and in the process the guy would end up wanting her to send nude pictures and videos because he wants to see her body so that he could even guide her on WhatsApp or teach her something new over the phone. They would also tell Tanaka that she has to be comfortable with them and they would end up wanting her to take off her clothes
for reasons she did not understand at all and she would end up just blocking the person.
“At training session one guy even told me to send him 5 nude pictures with bra and panty and without and l should be comfortable hence showing my face in all that ha l just felt like my body is being sold somewhere next thing l should be in port Elizabeth by this time it just felt shady” she narrated Tanaka give special thanks to her mom “ that woman is a human warrior and l am not even exaggerating, life was okay for her until one fatal accident changed her entire life. Broken spinal cord that left her bed ridden for 9 years now lost her marriage due to that accident to made her disabled but still she managed to raise her 3 daughters in a wheel chair and prayer became her strength up to now she always says “l cannot walk it’s been
years l cannot protect you girls as other mothers do from certain evils in this world the only thing l can do on my wheel chair day and night is pray for you girls” so yeah it’s my mother for me” she said Any message to upcoming models Life starts with you, don’t ever let anyone tell you can’t do this or you not good enough. And remember no sweat no gain!
l cannot protect you girls as other mothers do from certain evils in this world the only thing l can do on my wheel chair day and night is pray for you girls
