Mr and Miss Albinism crowned by Mohlakeng’s Godfrey
Our very own Godfrey Mphatswe of Mohlakeng crowned Mr and Miss Albinism in Zimbabwe.
Godfrey Mphatswe, who was born and raised in Mohlakeng, was one of the judges who crowned Mr and Miss Albinism at Cresta Lodge in Harare, Zimbabwe on Friday, 24 May.
The pageant was held to help break down the prejudice faced by those living with the condition.
Godfrey, 35, is well known for being a former Mr South Africa finalist, former Gauteng Fashion Council Board member, the face of Bogart Man 2017, and the founder of Mr Icon Gauteng.
He told the Herald it was a big honour to have been invited to such a special occasion in SA’s neighbouring country.
“I am someone who takes great interest in people living with albinism. I have since started to help breaking the boundaries and stereotypes that affect people with this condition,” Godfrey said.
He added during his time in Zimbabwe, he has created new connections and is determined to explore the hardships that people with albinism face.
“I am very grateful and would like to thank all the organisers who made this possible,” Godfrey said.
Brenda Chibvongodze Mudzimu, of the Mr and Miss Albinism Pageant said, “We were thrilled with Godfrey’s presence, and amazed as his life revolves around vulnerable people. Godfrey is a man with a golden heart. His random acts of kindness are something everyone can learn from.”
