Describing the competition she said, “The competition is more of a women-empowerment initiative rather than a pageant. It has been amazing, walking out of the workshops and you have a refreshed ideas of yourself.
“As a wife and mother, you get caught up in the mundane activities of life and you don’t get to take care of yourself. This is to help find myself and how to find out who I was and what I was capable of.”
Seevnarayan said she has been inspired by the other contestants in the workshops during the competition attended by women from all walks of life.
Only 25 lucky women will be selected to continue the journey, as finalists, for Tammy Taylor Mrs South Africa and they will be announced at the Annual Charity Ball on 29 June at Centre Court, Emperors Palace.
