The second-year public relations student at the University of South Africa said she wants to inspire her peers and for people to look up to her as a role model.

“When I first entered Miss Allanridge Secondary School, it was my first time on stage. I made it to the top 10, which was a big deal to me as it was my first pageant,” said Khuzwayo.
The young model said had it not being for her sister’s passion for modelling, she would not have had the confidence to pull through. As every other model, Khuzwayo also has someone she looks up to in the modelling industry and for her it is Refilwe Modiselle.
“I look up to Modiselle. Looking back at her modelling career one cannot help but be inspired. Her confidence has also pushed me to my limits.”
Modelling has its own challenges and how you deal with the stress and pressure shows how passionate and determined one is in the industry.
