AT the tender age of eight, Zama Kuzwayo adopted the mindset that participating in beauty pageants is not about having a pretty face only, but is about helping others through charity work which is a big part of the modelling industry.
Zama only started her modelling career early this year, but has already made a name for herself as she is a finalist for Miss KZN Top Model SA.
She won the first pageant she took part in; Miss Mariann Park Primary School where she is a Grade 3 learner.
Modelling provides her with an opportunity to meet children, people and make friends, which she loves.
“It has taught me to be more confident and I enjoy doing charity work,” she said.
During her free time, she volunteers at Eden Children’s Home in Mariannhill.
