19 year old Zimbabwean Chris Ncube is set to travel to Philippines to represent Zimbabwe during an International pageant Man Of The world.During the interview he tells us what inspired his journey and why it’s important for him to win.
Q.Hi Chris can you tell us about yourself?A. I’m Chris Ncube, 19 years of age and I am a first year law student at the University of Chichester.I was Born in Harare and raised in Beitbridge, then did my high school at Falcon college
Q.What inspired you to take part in the modelling industry ?A. My inspiration came from my sister, in 2014, at Harare international conference centre ,I watched her strutting her stuff at Carnival Queen Zimbabwe and I could not stop talking about it, pageantry was like the best thing I have ever seen
Q.What is your take of your country’s modeling industry?A. My take on Zimbabwe’s modeling industry is that we’re still growing, as a country in general, so we are not perfect but with the way our models are souring high at international,we know our future is bright.
Q.Apart from modelling you are a student how do you balance your school work and modelling?A. I normally do not participate in any modeling activities during my school time, I normally do it during the holidays, although i do cheat myself and watch a lot of pageantry even during my study time, sometimes
Q.Chris you are set to represent Zimbabwe at Philippines how are you preparing for your journey?A. Preparing for this journey is one of the hardest things, the international competition is very demanding, but its either i go big or go home, in this case im not backing down for nothing
Q.If you win the title what will it mean to you and the nation?A. If i win the title it would be such a relief to me and my parents, i intend on making a difference in the industry as it lacks a bit of dynamism when it comes to the boy child.
Q.How did you manage to become the delegate of your country?A. I became the delegate from Zimbabwe through an application process, there is no national pageant yet, so they opened applications for individuals.
Q.How has Zimbabwe been supporting your journey?A.
I have received massive love and support from Zimbabweans , financially emotionaly and physically, people all over the country they send messages of congratulations as well as tokens of appreciation and a lot of gifts, this comes with sponsorships too.
Q.Name at least four places where one can travel in Zimbabwe as a tourist?A. Definitely I start with Beitbridge, I live here but I would advise one to also travel across the country to visit too where we have a lot of elephants and wildlife to show as well as a very diverse cultural tourism to give. I would visit the Chinhoyi caves once again because the serenity of the place feels celesti, I would also visit the Victoria Falls, our awesome World Heritage site, and lastly kariba visiting the lake and will have a lot of sea food, yum.
Q.Lastly what word of advise do you have to Zimbabweans who want to venture into modelling?A.I would tell them to look into it first and decide which particular sector they are better suited to
