Lereese Wright off to Thailand holiday soon

MALL of the South hosted their second annual Kids and Teens of the South Fashion Event on September 29, to showcase a variety of fashion flair.

This event presented musical entertainment by Phoenix, with Andy Klee on vocals, Femi Koya on the saxophone and Ashley Lineker on the electronic violin. Gert G Boshoff was the master of ceremonies.

The celebrity judges, who adjudicated the event, included former Miss India South Africa and first runner-up in Miss India World, Denise Dass Bhikha, model, Manlie Wagner, head booker and G3 models scout, Shadi Letoaba, Evercomm heads of sales and marketing, Samantha Naidoo, and multiple pageant judge, Prof Deon van Wyk.

Entries were open to girls in four categories: age three to five, six to eight, nine to 12 and 13 to 17. Over 1 000 entries were received and 40 finalists were selected – 10 from each category.

The 2018 Kids and Teens of the South winners are as follows:

· Olwethu Mhlongo (three to five),

· Lereese Wright (six to eight),

· Mogau Ramalia (nine to twelve),

· Ashleigh Teen (13 to 17).

This fashion event received over R165 000 worth of sponsorships, including a weekend away to Sun City for the top four winners (valued over R20 000) and a fun-filled beach getaway to Thailand for a family of four (valued at R40 000, courtesy of Flight Centre and Mall of the South).

Delmaine Greaver, Flight Centre Mall of the South Branch Manager, randomly selected a name from the top four winners and soon-to-be-jet setter Lereese was selected randomly, winning a family holiday to Thailand.

A huge thank you goes to all the dedicated sponsors from Mall of the South who contributed to this event, and everyone who attended.
