ALL that Summerose Nyembe wanted was to avoid depression, anxiousness and stress.
However, these emotions are often our unwanted companions.
The 20 year-old model from Dobsonville in Soweto, was the last man standing at this year’s Mr and Mrs Mzansi International.
Her crowning took place at the glamorous Roodepoort City Hall over the weekend.
Nyembe, like many of her competitors, knew that partaking in bigger competitions meant that one either won or lost.
“To be honest with you, I did not participate in the competition to win it, but to enjoy every moment of it,” said the modeller, who is studying Film & Television Production with the VMC Academy.
She said to avoid disappointment in your life, one needed to take things easy.
She competed against the best, which made the victory all the more gratifying.
The aspiring actress went into this competition without any expectations and that’s why she broke into tears when she was announced the overall winner.
Her modelling career started three years ago and this win was her biggest win of her life.
KMP Foundation was the main sponsor and organiser of the annual Mr and Mrs Mzansi International.
The foundation CEO and founder, Pertunia Malingisa, said the competition gives contestants the opportunity to display their talents and her foundation prides itself on that.
She said that in the context of a pageant, the overall victor is the person who is crowned as the top winner.
This is usually the contestant who has scored the highest overall points in all areas of competition, including talent, their journey, evening gown, interviews, and swimsuit.
The overall winner is usually the one who has shown the most poise, grace, and overall appeal throughout the competition.
“This person is considered to be the ultimate representative of the pageant, and is often seen as a role model for other contestants,” said Malingisa.
Other winners include: Junior Zakwe (King), Keamogetswe “Kea” Masemola (1st runner up), Thobekile Malabela (Queen)
