Somerset West resident, Chantell Davis, has been chosen as a Mrs South Africa semi-finalist in this year’s competition.
Ms Davis received the news on Friday February 3, after the National Casting event at Emperors Palace, in Johannesburg.
Following the announcement, she together with the other semi-finalists took part in a jam-packed two-day conference filled with motivational talks, workshops, upskilling sessions, socialising and networking opportunities, and an introduction to the Mrs SA sisterhood.
“I was overjoyed and filled with a deep sense of gratitude, upon hearing the incredible news”, says Ms Davis.
Sharing more about her decision to enter, she says, “I once lived a life plagued by fear, shame,and rejection, constantly comparing myself to others. However, through years of personal growth and inner healing, I discovered my true identity and purpose.
“As a wife, mother of four, including superfetation twins, and a woman in ministry, I am now passionately dedicated to bringing hope and encouragement to all South Africans as a voice of inspiration.
Joani Johnson, CEO of Mrs SA, says, “We are proud to work alongside so many strong, formidable, and inspirational married women, and to empower them through our pillars of community, self-development, and networking to be the leaders and social game-changers that we need in this country.
“Our experienced mentors teach leadership, entrepreneurship, marketing, self-promotion, and self-discovery throughout the year to ensure that all participants have a truly life changing experience.”
As part of her journey, Ms Davis, also hopes to raise awareness about PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome) and its impact on women’s quality of life.
“We are blown away by the number of high-quality entries that we received this year, and we are deeply appreciative to have met so many wonderful women from all walks of life. The National Casting day was exceptionally difficult, as a substantial number of entrants have what it takes to make a success of this programme,” notes Ms Johnson.
“Davis fully embodies the values that Mrs SA holds most dear, and is representative of our tagline for the year: #EveryWoman. We look forward to going on this journey with her and her fellow sisters,” Ms Johnson concludes.
