Determined Eldos model aims for the sky
The 27-year-old mother of one began her modelling career at the age of 10 when she was still in Grade five at Parkdale Primary.
The founder of Miss Eldorado Park and Mrs Soweto finalist Naeema Pedro (27) from Goud Street Flats, Old Eldos hopes to bag the 2024 Mrs Soweto title.
Pedro said as a finalist, she is committed to engaging in charitable activities and interacting with the community, which she describes as deeply meaningful to her.
She said her charity drives will concentrate on youth and women empowerment programmes and workshops in addition to managing social media feeds.

“This platform has provided me with a valuable opportunity to embrace and celebrate my roles as a mother, wife, coach and pageant queen,” said Pedro.
The 27-year-old mother of one began her modelling career at the age of 10 when she was still in Grade five at Parkdale Primary.
She characterised herself as a modest, strong and driven woman. Pedro knew she was in the right place the moment she stepped on stage, almost a decade ago.
“I continued my modelling journey by enrolling in two different modelling academies and taking the stage in New York City in 2015. I have done multiple pageants and fashion shows,” said Pedro.
“In 2019, my sister and I decided to give back to the community in a unique way. We have been hosting the Miss Eldorado Park pageant for the youth of the community.”
Some of her achievements include being a Miss Township SA finalist in 2021, Miss Africa second princess in 2020, Best Model SA first princess and Miss Orginatural first princess in 2018, Miss Gauteng Exclusive Semi-finalist in 2017, Busby Glam Fashion Show 2016, Miss Soweto Top 16 finalist in 2015 and Eldos Top Model first princess in 2014.

Her modelling career slowed down when she became a mother to what she described as the most beautiful little boy.
With a bright smile on her face, the beauty queen said she has decided to get back on stage and embrace who she is, starting with the Mrs Soweto campaign.
However, success in the competition depends on various elements, including the task of securing a sum of R2,500 in sponsorship before the end of August.
