Tarryn Ogle, an Edenvale resident, is competing in the Mrs South Africa 2016 pageant.
Tarryn has always followed the Miss and Mrs South Africa competitions throughout her life.
Tarryn admired the competitors for standing for what they believed in. “They are not apologising for who they are – they are beautiful with a purpose,” Tarryn said. This inspired her to enter the competition.
Tarryn juggles being married, having four children as well as being an Edenvale businesswoman. Mrs SA is not only a beauty pageant, but is also an empowerment programme for women.
“I have always been passionate about guiding and motivating women of all ages from all walks of life.”
She said that she believes that guiding and inspiring women is her true calling.
“It’s about giving hope and serving others, not taking each other for granted and being the ultimate version of ourselves we can be.”
Tarryn is a semi-finalist in the competition. The top 25 finalists will be announced at a Prestige Cansa gala dinner event on April 29.
There are still four weeks in which the public can like her photo on the Mrs SA Facebook page.
The woman with the highest number of votes automatically goes through to the finals.
