Two of our grade 11 learners have been cleaning our school as a part of their charity commitments for the pageants that they are participating in. Kelebogile Masekela: Kelebogile is an aspiring princess for Ms Teen Denlyn Mall 2024/5. Denlyn Mall is a mall in Mamelodi. Winning this title would mean that she would be a proud ambassador of Denlyn Mall and Mamelodi. She will carry out a good image for Denlyn Mall and Mamelodi, encouraging her peers to appreciate and care for their community and its surroundings. She would be delighted to showcase her ability to instil appreciation and respect in teenagers for their community and the people who work hard to keep their environment clean and safe. Ntombifuthi Gwala: Ntombifuthi is a semi-finalist for Face of Gauteng Teenager 2024. She feels that nothing is more beautiful than a confident girl who doesn’t pretend to be someone she is not. Pageantry is a bit overwhelming, but if you want something, you need to be dedicated. As part of her pageantry program, she has donated sanitary towels to primary schools in need, she has helped the Tshwane crew clean the community and she cooked for an old age home. She has worked with the Moses Mabhida Foundation to cater for the youth on Youth Day. She would be honoured to be an idol for younger girls. Her mother is her best supporter and she would not be where she is today if it weren’t for her mother. #odies #pageants #charity #support #strivehigh
