“They came to our school and took pictures of us while we were modelling. After the auditions they selected some of us and we then went to Carnival City to compete with other models at the semi-finals.

“They then selected the top ten; I was among the chosen models and we were told that we will represent SA in 2019,” she said.

Ntokozo said it is an overwhelming experience for her.

“It gives me great pleasure to know that I will be representing my school and the country at large for a good cause,” she said.
