Young, beautiful and gifted finalist for Toddler and Tween of the World SA 2019, Koketso Kau, graced the stage at St John Apostle Catholic Church when she did a presentation about autism awareness on Sunday, 7 April. The presentation is part of her journey as a finalist.
The 12-year-old Koketso is currently in Grade 8 at Florida Park High School and she has always been passionate about helping people in need. “For me, this pageant is not only about winning and getting the prize money. I also want to use it as a platform to help disadvantage families. If I can walk from this pageant, knowing that there is a family that I have helped, then I will feel like a winner,” said Koketso.
In addition to modelling, Koketso’s hobbies are reading and cooking. She is a confident, humble girl who finds it easy to interact with other children.
On Saturday, 4 May, Koketso will be hosting a beauty pageant of her own – Mr & Miss Future Leaders 2019 – at Makhaya Hall in Soweto to raise funds. “The proceeds from the pageant will be used to help an identified disadvantaged family,” Koketso said.
