South Coast beauty shines at Mrs SA Curve 2025

Rochelle Robbetze brought home the second princess crown from the recent Mrs South Africa Curve 2025 beauty pageant.

An achievement, she describes as the biggest honour and blessing of her journey so far.

She said her heart is ‘overflowing with gratitude’ for the support she received along the way.

“Thank you to every single person who supported me, believed in me, prayed for me, encouraged me and walked this journey with me,” she said.

“This crown is not just mine – it belongs to our community, to every woman who has faced challenges and risen above them, and to every little girl who dreams of becoming all that God created her to be.”

Reflecting on the experience, Robbetze shared a message of faith, self-worth and resilience.

“This moment is a reminder that purpose is bigger than circumstance. You don’t need a crown to be a queen or a princess. You already are. Believe in yourself, trust the journey and know that God does not make mistakes,” she said.

She added that true strength lies beyond titles and trophies.

“The crown doesn’t make the queen – the queen makes the crown. What truly matters is your heart, your character, your authenticity and the strength you show when no one is watching.”

Robbetze hopes her achievement will inspire other women to rise above their challenges and recognise their own value.

“May this inspire every woman to stand tall in her worth and know she is seen, valued, worthy and more than enough,” she said.
