“Mister Mpumalanga 2024 entries are only applicable to Mpumalanga residents. All Mpumalanga men are welcome regardless of their race or sexual orientation we do not discriminate,”said Bill Brown

He further informed that,the pageant’s main aim is to work with the boy child in the community.

“We welcome all men who are more interested in giving back to the community and also willing to give back to their communities especially the lives of a boy child,”said Bill Brown.

Mr Mpumalanga it’s a platform and tool to inspire young men to be the best they can be, mould men into role models and ambassadors in our society.

The ABM Foundation have identified a gap in as far as the nurturing of the boy child is concerned. In their observation is that, whilst understandably so, too much focus is centred on the girl-child. It is their view that this oversight and/or neglect of the boy child is the source of many of the societal challenges that we are faced with today.

Q.One might wonder why did you take part at Mister Zim International?
A.The theme for the Mister Zimbabwe International pageant was “MAN OF VALUE” And that is what describes me the most. I have always had a heart of giving to the less privileged and the leaders of tomorrow so I realized that the pageant was going to help me connect to the world and make it a safer place for the next generation. Men in our generation have a been facing a pandemic which is gender inequality, when the world decides to focus on one gender and turn their backs on the other one we are simply creating a new breed of suicidal youths and abusers and that is something I am also advocating for

Q.What was your take of this year’s Mister Zim International?
A.To be honest this year’s edition had some of the best male models l have ever come across, each contestant being unique in their own way. I never imagined myself placing top three but I always told myself that even if I didn’t place, I was going to be outstanding.

Q.What was your biggest challenge during the pageant?
A.The biggest obstacle I faced was self doubt. I did not have half the experience the other models had so l had a huge ground to cover

Q.Did it ever occur to you that you will reach where you are?
A. For the first few seconds I was in denial to be honest. I was just one big bag of emotions but above all I praised God for never giving up on me.

Q.Who inspires you?
A. My inspiration is the Mister Zimbabwe International National Director Mr Ishmael Murangandi. He was able to give a voice to the young male models in Zimbabwe and overcame the criticism that came with it

Q.Has Zim modelling sector reached the International standard?
A. I believe that Zimbabwe is slowly starting to give modeling a chance. Though we haven’t reached where we want to be as an industry, the pace we are working with is significant and hopefully in a few years we will be as great as other countries.

Q.In Five years…
A. In 5 years I  hope to have established a culture where models despite their gender or background are not treated any differently or judged. We are all Zimbabweans, we are all human, No one is above the other
