Being Miss and Mr Memel doesn’t happen in a vacuum. In fact, any form of success is frequently bred upon the bedrock of sacrifice . This is a thrilling narrative of Sisanda Khena and Owami. E Nkosi, who happen to be current holders of the aforementioned titles in Memel.
They worked tirelessly to hone their craft, and eventually the desired end was realised. This is a discourse that showcases that with an incredible work ethic and persistence, success is within the reach of imitation.
In part, their success owes its origin to Meiki Mbuli. A matured and well-versed mentor, that consistently sharpened the duo’s aptitudes. This clearly shows that no man is self-made, but success always answers to United efforts.
After conquering the landscape of Memel, these two were headed to a more refined competition, Miss and Mr South of the Equator. Their journey was instituted on the 12th of August 2023.
This new pathway proved to be marked by many hurdles. Sponsors were nowhere to be found, they opted for a door to door fundraising method. Their mentor also employed every means at her command to aid in the process of fundraising.
It is alleged that a certain politician promised to sponsor the whole trip, and that happened only in alternative reality. Politicians have earned an enormous reputation of being liars, over-promising people and under-delivering is a new normal in the political arena, if not a fixed order of things.
Nevertheless, the trip was made possible by a lot of sacrifices and an unlikely heroe. The moment these two teenage sensations and their mentor graced the scene of Durban, they were greeted by a massive insufficiency of funds.
They had to pay for accommodation with their transportation money, hoping that the alleged politician will reedem the situation. Supposedly, the politician was anticipated to send the money the very moment they got to Durban. Things only unfolded otherwise.
The circumstance was dire, and hoping against hope was the only option on the bag. An unsung heroe emerged from Ladysmith and prevented the whole mayhem from actualizing. He took care of everything that was needed for the whole trip, from food to transportation.
Both these remarkable figures reached the finals of the South of the Equator pageant.This is how the pageant transpired, Mr Memel got to the top 6. Miss Memel also climbed to the top 6 and strove till the third position for Runway Model of the year.
Congratulations to both of them for their accomplishments.
Thank you so much
