Q.What led you to take part in  Mister Supranational  South Africa? A.The realisation of what I am fighting for is mainly the drive which pushed me or encouraged me to take part for Mister supranational. Once I was able to gasp a full understanding of what it was that I was/is that I’m actually fighting for. It became clear that the problem that we face is not only a societal problem it is not only a city problem, it is not only a provincial problem, it is not a South African problem either but it is a problem faced by the whole world. So basically that was the main drive which lead me to register or answer for Mister Supranational.

Q.Can you take us to your modelling background? A.It is obvious that some people are born into something, it might be because they are talented at that thing or to them it comes naturally but then with me, modelling was something that was introduced to me by my family and particular it was my aunt and my mother. The first pageant I entered in was back in 2019 mainly for fun and educational purposes because I did not know exactly what was the motive behind pageants and what was required from an individual. As soon as I grabbed the title, I conducted a research regarding pageant and it became clear that pageants are actually a platform for people to voice out what they have at hand. As years went by I started having love for it because it was something that was sent fill in the community not only in the community but it could bring change to the community as well as in the people living in the community. Now I was very fortunate because I had a very understanding family which was able to provide the help I needed throughout my journey throughout my modelling years 

And it has been really blessed because I could say that my modelling life started at a very young age and now I am fully aware of what modelling is all about.

Q.Why do you believe you are the right person for the To be titled Mister Supranational SA? A.I believe I am the perfect candidate to be crowned Mister Supranational South Africa because my drive is different. It is not the very same drive would you see in the next person, it is not the very same drive which you see in from your neighbors but it is a drive that has meaning. I say this because some of the issues Iceland against are some of the issues endured in my upbringing. So it is safe to say that what I do I do because I don’t want the same for the next person. I do not want the same for a boy child. Not only for a boy child but I do not want the same for the whole world.

Q.Can you share with us four facts about yourself that people may not know about you ? A. Well what I am told is that I look very strict, I look like someone who is very uptight and look like someone who doesn’t want to be messed with. Well I cannot argue with this because it is what people say I look like but I’m a very open person. Not only am I open but I’m a very open-minded person.

I love the idea of growing as a community

I love the idea of sharing what we have as people.

I’m really the last person to speak in the room

I’m a person who loves his family.

I’m a person who loves those I feel close to.

I’m also a person who is able to feel pain not only for myself but for the next person because in most cases I come across people who have endured what I have endured as well. In that moment we become birds of the same feathers

Although this might contradict what I’m currently doing but offstage, I’m a very shy person

Q.How would you describe your personal style and where do you get your inspiration  from ? A.In one word I would say it is different.I say this because I’m a person who takes pride in being different. I’m a person who looks for new ways into solving old and new problems. I’m a person who enjoys finding new ways of doing things.I am inspired by being different.

Q.What advise would you give a 18 year old who is addicted into illegal  substances? A.You know, the one thing we think we have which we do not have is time.If I had a chance to do things differently, if I was given another chance to be your age. I would seize the opportunity with everything I have because I did not know what I know now.You might think that by doing what you do you’re following a certain trend. Yes it is a trend, but have you taken the time to think in what way will this trend affect your life in the next 5 years. Will it groom you or will it destroy you?.You think 5 years is too long ?.Let’s break it down. It takes a very short time to make something a habit but it takes years to let go of that habit. You teach yourself to spend money on things that slowly destroy your life. How do you think you’ll behave when you have a family of your own. Will you build it or will you drag it to the ground.Don’t think about today and just chill. Who should think about your tomorrow?

Q.Do you believe being handsome plays a major role in modeling?. A Honestly, no. What change will I bring to the world with my handsome face and cold heart?.Is my handsome-ness the one sending words of encouragement and doing good in my community or is it what I have inside?.I believe that in the pageant industry, what is required mostly from us is what we have at hand rather then how our faces look.Just be neat, tidy and representable 

Q.When not in runway what do you do? A.I’m a full-time Engineering. I also have a clothing line as my side hustle 

Q.Lastly can you tell us about yourself and how does Mzansi and Africa vote for  you A.I’m an individual who wants nothing but the absolute best for everyone. If it were by my doing, we would all be equal. We would all be real and accommodating of one another because at the end of the day we are one species

Priding myself as a well rounded gentleman of a good caliber, a man of integrity, dignity, a leader, a motivational speaker, I am Taolo Mogale, a public health specialist, aged 29. 

Currently I’m holding a title of Man of Africa Universe Botswana, having scooped 2nd runner up Mister Africa Continent 2022 and awarded best project award winner. I am the founder of The MINDFUL MOVEMENT CAMPAIGN, which centers on the mentorship of a boy child, gender based violence, mental health issues and lastly community charity through Corporate Social Responsibility.

 I started my modeling career back in 2019 with Empire Modeling Agency, where I was signed as run way and commercial model.

 I would say, representing my country ,shows that indeed I’m ready to face my power and embrace my future without any failure.

If I win this title, I will use it to create inter-relationships between African countries and share our different cultures. 

It’s time we combat challenges that Africa faces, challenges such as poor education systems, religious conflicts, corruption and amongst others poor health care we experience in Africa.

 This title will give me an opportunity to be that Ambassador who’ll speak on behalf of Africa as a whole.

My inspiration is Martin Luther King.This is because he has taught me that dreams are lived and not buried. He taught me that if you have a dream, make sure you live it and live a positive legacy behind, let your foot steps be seen by the up coming generations.

I live by the qoute ,’Push for progression not perfection’.No one is perfect but if we push to progress and make a difference make a difference then we would have achieved a lot.

If I were to speak to the Ministry of Youth in my beloved country, I would advocate for ,creation of Employment amongst Youth.We live in a country where we find most of Youth home yet holding different qualifications due to lack of employment.

 It’s time our government see the need to create more employment for youth, we have innovators who can take this country far but due to lack of employment that’s a hindrance.

 If unemployment can be dalt with then Socio Economic status in my beloved country will improve for the better.

I’m one person who avail myself at any cost, because my aim is to transit my fellow youth from one point to another

Laslty, if you have a dream, then accomplish it, push till you attain your goals and dreams. And lastly, ndly vote for me so we can bring the crown home
