Sanele

My name is Sanele Khuzwayo. I’m a 21 years old model from RabieRidge, Midrand in Gauteng province. I was born in Tembisa Hospital.

I am currently completing my third year at the University of SouthAfrica, studying Diploma in Public Relations. I enjoy taking risks, inmy spare time I enjoy reading novels on word-pad. My motto is that"If your actions inspire others to learn more, dream more, do more

and become more then you are an excellent leader" https://upcomingmag2019.files.wordpress.com

Had in not be for my sister's passion for modelling I wouldn’t have had enough confidence in modelling as I used to go and support her through her modelling journey, then I fell in love with an idea of being a model and living on stage.

I look up to Refilwe Modiselle because looking back at her modelling journey, one cannot help but to be inspired and I can say that her confidence has also pushed me to the limit. Modelling is important to me because it's built my self-confidence and I gained high self-esteem. To me Modelling is not about winning sashes and crowns, but it teaches me to respect myself and my society. it's also about being able to be a great leader and it helped me to face my fears.

I started modelling when I was 16 years old and I entered Miss Allanridge Secondary School and made it to Top 10.

2017 I won Miss Confidence Allanridge

2018, I was crowned Second Princess for Miss Royalty

2020, I got Miss Bircheliegh Popularity sash.

What I have learnt in my modelling journey is that beauty is not about the physical appearance only, but being able to be a good ambassador and a good leader to your society and giving back to the community. What I enjoy about being a model is that it boosts my confidence and helps me to be able to stand up for myself and maintain the confidence to talk to people without fearing what the other person might think about me.

Modelling has its own challenges- firstly it's not that much easier to get supporters and having to get people who will purchase tickets and getting people to vote for you is one of the difficult challenges that most of the models face. Preparing for an event is never easy but I already have a routine for preparing a pageant, I practice in front of the mirror and my family before the actual event takes place.

In life you should never ever give up in your dreams, and remember we’re not the same and we can never achieve one thing at the same time. Some people can achieve success earlier and some people’s success can take time, but it is important to never give up.

With the knowledge that I have right now and that which I am still yet to learn, I believe that in the next five coming years- the future generations will be reading about me on magazines, newspaper and in all mass media as I’m driven and optimistic about being a famous model not only in my community but my country as well and very likely globally.
