Artist Profile UNI-BOYZ This is a story about unity, brotherhood, about four brothers who joined forces to fight against a painful reality that faces the youth in South African townships where unemployment, poverty and hopelessness are thriving.

In that environment, you find them seeking change, knocking on doors for opportunities, and doing things that will make life more bearable.

It's true that two brains are better than one, and in this case, four is better than two. Unity is strong because they encourage and motivate each other when things get tough.

Meet Uni-Boyz SA, four highly motivated musicians from Grasmere in the Vaal. Namely, Lawrence Matewela, Christopher Fulepu, Unamandla Ngogodo and Baxolele Ndilele.

The group was formed in 2012 when they had no idea what to expect. They stayed true to themselves across the years, constantly pushing themselves to do better every day.

As a group they have unparalleled music skills that undeniably make them the next big thing since skinny jeans or Rooiboos tea. They‟re determined to make music that will make DJs across the world play because the crowd demands it.

Uni-Boyz SA international reach is evident in the kind of deals they‟ve managed to scoop themselves. A distribution deal with Azucar Entertainment In, a New York based music publishing company, in 2015. And Soulful Horizons Inc, also based in NY. Uni-Boyz‟ versatility and ability to capture different crowds is also evident in the catalogue of people they've worked with. From far as Botswana, Zimbabwe, Northen Cape, and Cape Town.

They're music is inspired by real life situations, take the example of latest single Dirty Games which about a girlfriend that cheated with all your friends, a heartbreaking, yet soothing house dance song. The music has influences of Kwaito music, something they all grew up listening to. Legends like Mandla Spikiri, Skhokho and the late Brown Dash are people they look up to because they're about to resurrect kwaito music.

Model focus: Lisa Elizabeth Mapule Matjila, known as Lisa, is 22 years of age (Birthday) 13 August 1996 She was born at Baragwanath hospital, grew up in Diepkloof Soweto almost all my life, at some point in my life she stayed in Hammanskraal Marokolong for two years and then came back to carry on with she studies this side.

She has also been interested in writing, whether it is poems or life experiences.

She was not always a great singer but she still wrote, 2013 was the year she started writing songs.

Lisa talks about her Modelling Career: What inspired me to do modelling?

When I was young I used to attend at Barona child care centre where they'd always involve children in activity, for most my years there, when other kids took part in Beauty pageant I was either I too young or weight too much to take part so they wouldn't let me.

I found things to keep me busy, I was involved in traditional dancing but I wasn't much of a dancer, I also tried singing. I graduated and left.

I started playing netball and it became my favourite sport till now.

I played netball all my school years and paused when I was busy with my matric.

When I finished school in 2015 I saw an article on a newspaper where they held an audition for people wanting to take part in beauty pageants.

I went and Mr Fisher welcomed me and told me when to come for a walk and pose practice.

When we were practicing with Mr Fisher, he taught us that we are team and we need to stand for one another.

We also learned about women being independent and able to take care of themselves, the importance of hygiene and being well mannered.

We competed with other nations (it was international) Out of all their competitions I went home the third princess (as for their winning prices they were amazing) As time went I started to see that there was more than just a beauty pageant, I got engaged in fashion shows.

I attended one in Eldorado where I met new happy souls and got more and more opportunities, met fashion designers who did super cool clothing.

I attended Victoria yards every first Sunday of the month Runway show, we advertised our clothes and showed that we are proudly African in our traditional clothing, tourists took pictures of us and every Sunday we got to wear 1 item of a different designer‟s clothing.

Because of the modelling career I was called to take part in the Amanda black ft Lasauce‟s music video I was also in: The Maphanda Lava Gusheshe music video.

The Lwazzy Mbala dance music video.

I did acting too:

Ofentse

Who is ?

Ofentse Fefe Pitso is a young lady from Soweto and a proud Sowetan. She is a Conquer, She empowers, She is Fearless and She Inspires. She is a founder of a Non-profit organisation that helps girls with self-confidence, selfesteem, self-image and self-love.

When and how did you start modelling?

I fell in love with Modelling when I used to accompany my sister to her Modelling classes. She introduced me to Modelling at the age of 7 years but was never exposed much to the industry because my parents didn't understand it. When I was in grade 8, I started checking out castings on newspapers to see agencies looking for models.

I got in the industry when I was in grade 9, when I did my first photoshoot ďż˝, I was now a normal child and could smile again. I grew up having funny teeth and that contributed to me being rejected and also growing with low self-esteem.

What do you think about beauty pageants?

I honestly think beauty pageants have helped many girls to grow up into being confident leaders.

I love how they transform one's personality.

I also love the fact that they now focusing on the inner being of a person and not only the outer being, I mean they now focusing on different attributes of a person and not only their beauty. Beauty pageants are now about building community leaders and not only building a person to being beautiful and not bringing change to the community.

Beauty queens contribute a lot of change to the communities. They help groom young girls on how to behave and they also prepare people for the real world.

We always hear about human trafficking, do you know anyone who went missing?

I do not know anyone who went missing due to human trafficking.

What other jobs does modelling prepare you for? In your own opinion [06/30, 21:27] My Number: They prepare one not to be shy, meaning that you are always ready for any interview you come to.

Modelling prepares one to be business orientated.

You have years of experience in modelling, what are you doing with you experience now?

I am sharing my Modelling experience to anyone who wants to get in the industry and has no clue. I mentor so many young girls to make sure they don't sell themselves in the wrong way to the public, and for them not to be scammed in the industry.

Can anyone become a model? If yes what should they have?

Yes, anyone can be a model.

There are different types of models needed in the industry.

You just have to appreciate who you are and how you to make it in the industry.

Modelling is not about being pretty, being petite, having a flat tummy and also looking beautiful, it actually caters for different things.

She is passionate about community outreaches and helping people, doesn't do it for recognition but from the goodness of her heart. Ofentse is a leader, public relations student & a model.

I am a girl with many hidden talents.

For women who want to be a model but don’t know where to start, can you give them advise?

There are different Modelling Agencies in SA and they all want different things and have different requirements. Just do proper researches and ask around about the agency you are about to sign in.

Camera should be your friend, it will prepare you to being comfortable to taking pictures.

Use different photographers to get comfortable to being taken pictures by different people.

Get proper training from Modelling coaches if you do not have a clue. *Take proper pictures*
