Local model makes great strides

Phindulo Matshili, a Grade 11 Glenvista High learner, recently competed in the Mr Teen World South Africa pageant at the South African State Theatre in Pretoria.

Matshili was second runner-up, adding to his bucket list of achievements.

This young aspiring model holds the title of Mr Teen Star Universe South Africa 2024, which he won in Portugal two months ago.

According to Matshili, he holds about 13 titles in total and hopes to win more pageants in the future.

His coach, Gladys Nape, said: “I am proud of Phindulo. He is spreading his wings, and it’s paying off for his hard work through all the years.”
