POLOKWANE – Aspiring models recently had the opportunity to mingle with the Mr and Mrs Sunshine 2017/2018 judges in a pre-run event ahead of the pageant later this year.
Mrs Polokwane hopeful and pageant organiser, Esther Mamikie Mosima, hosted the event with the assistance of local professionals in the modelling industry.

The aim is to give young girls and women from remote areas in the province the opportunity to experience the pageant world.
Esther says she knows how lack of exposure can hinder career development as she did not get a lot of publicity when she started her modelling career. She now hopes communities will open up to the idea of helping their members reach their dreams.
“I come from the rural areas and it is very hard for us to access the information that we need to succeed” she says.
