Louise Niemann is Mrs Africa finalist
FERNDALE – Louise is also a self-image coach and public speaker who strives to live the best of her life.
Previous Mrs SA semi-finalist, Louis Niemann, had been selected as a Mrs Africa finalist. This businesswoman is a wife, mother, coach and a public speaker.
Niemann is passionate about her life purpose which is to be a leader in the development of people. She strives to raise the collective self-image of society through her own inspiring story of transformation from a completely broken self-image to where she is today.
She said that the beauty pageant competition was the best platform she could think of to spread her message across.
“If you saw me five years ago you wouldn’t recognise me, I was a completely broken person,” she said.
Niemann wants to transform the self-image of society and she indicated that people were taught to see and believe the worst of their lives.
“We grow up with problems of addiction, weight loss, financial issues, but all those problems come down to the way we see ourselves,” she explained.
She has met other beauty finalists who inspired her when she was looking for a way to spread her message across.
“I can’t keep telling people that they can become the best they want to be unless I do it myself and inspire them,” she continued.
Niemann grew up as a farm girl in Zimbabwe and moved to South Africa 18 years ago after completing O levels which is equivalent to Grade 12.
She then obtained her Pitmans qualification in financial accounting and fitness and nutrition certification through the International Sports Sciences Association.
She is a qualified spinning instructor and is currently registered with University of South Africa (Unisa) to complete her Degree in psychology.
Niemann founded and managed her own accounting and payroll company at the age 26, which she sold after five years in operation.
Through her desire to empower people, Louise then founded her current company in 2011 specialising in employee engagement consulting for small and medium enterprises.
“To really love yourself means to see the good about yourself and the not so good about yourself, and to accept that you have both without any judgement and criticism towards yourself,” she said.
