MISTER AFRICA INTERNATIONAL BRAND AMBASSADOR ENGAGES THE AFRICAN COMMUNITY
Mr Africa International Ambàssador Devson Luzain @Luzain_Africa Visits the mission Vale Care Centre in Port Elizabeth,South africa and learnt a lot of how Sister Ethel born in Ireland and moved to South Africa to spread the love of care giving as she built a whole centre that supports and caters for the community of missionvale from the young ones to the older people .
The centre provides primary education, youth development, sporting activities , clothing factory , clinic that even includes an Optometrist, recycling and food and groceries for the people of MissionVale.
STAY POSITIVE ,DONT LOOK BACK AND KEEP TRYING
Never give up keep pushing,is the message that we were told by fitness model,Buntu Ndevu from South Africa. In an interview with Buntu he provided an insight on how his journey as a fitness model began . Buntu also tells us what it meant for him to work with Mzansi’s designer,Piliso on the collection African Oxygen.
Q:Hi Buntu can you tell us who you are ?
A: I am Buntu Ndevu, 31 years old very passionate with fitness and Modeling.
Q:What came first modeling or body building?
A: I have always been actively involved in sports from a young age.
I remember my first time at the gym, I was about 11 years old. And I would always be chased out of the weight lifting section.
The Fitnes instructors would tell me I will only be allowed once I turn 15.
I then had to lie and say I’m 15
That’s how much I love fitness.
Q:What are the advantages of being a body builder and at the same time a model ?
A: There are way more opportunities when combining the two together.
I never thought of myself as a model until I stepped out of my comfort zone.
Modelling changed my mentality, it made me to challenge myself and learn to work with people.
Bodybuilding on the other side is more of an individual sport. But with modelling one learns to balance and work with people and meet new people and that is the only way to grow as a person.
Q:In your journey as a model you contested in becoming SA’s Brand Ambassador Body Builder SA.What dis you learnt about yourself during competition?
A: I recently entered as an contestant for an SA brand pageant. The reason for entering was to challenge myself as well as to use it as a platform for inspire, motivate and possibly change peoples minds. I believe once you change the way you think you become a better version of yourself.
Q:What is your view of Africa’s modeling sector?
A:I am happy that modelling is growing, we need more men to challenge themselves. I was also one of those men who think male models are less masculine.
Q:You are among models who had an opportunity to work with Piliso and to wear his collection,African Oxygen?
A: Yes, and what’s funny is that I was never chosen I actually asked for a spot to be squeezed as one of the models.
As I always do, I challenge myself. Wearing high quality, tailored designer clothing has always been a dream. Its even more breathtaking when its a local brand.
Q:Which brands are you eyeing to work with?
A:let’s keep that as a surprise.
Q:Gym has been part of your life how many times a week do you work out?
A: I workout almost every day. Ranging from once or twice a day.
Training is so much like an addiction I sometimes force myself to rest and it feels crazy.
Q:Who is your Inspiration?
A:Its hard to say because I have always been inspired by hardworking individuals. Being surrounded my hardworking people pushes me to work even harder.
ZIM MODEL TO CONTEST IN CAMEROON
My name is Wonderful Sibanda also known as Rohan Cybanda on social media, i am 21 years of age.
I joined modeling so that I get exposure and to be known by doing good things like doing charity, visiting and having good time with old people and orphans etc so for me to be in the modeling industry it was a way of getting into the charity.
I wanted to be known first so that I get advice, sponsorship etc
While during Mr Zimbabwe International were given projects to do and our project was to do a charity, so my project was to give back to mother nature by donating 100 trees and those were divided into four different types of trees namely Avocados, mangoes, mnyii and madhandhe,so these were donated to one of our well known Government School in Bulawayo Northlea High.
We got our trees from Mr Keyi Masuku who is the founder of the One Plant Trust who also into the tree planting organisation
Now im about to battle for an international Africa Tittle that is Mr King International Africa this competition will be held at Cameroon September 2022 then the finals will be in India.
So far i received sponsorship for my two outfits from designers who are from Harare that’s what I got so far and its even more painful because even the people who are in the modeling industry are not supporting in any way.However i hope a time goes on ill get more sponsor
