Contestants of Miss Port Edward stand a chance of going home with a cool R180 000 in prizes in this year’s competition. Miss Port Edward 2021 will be held at the Wild Coast Sun Tropical Nites Theatre on the 4th of December 2021. The Pageant has grown by leaps and bounds since its inception in 2018.
Models from Miss Port Edward were part of the charity fashion and arts event at the Wild Coast Sun in 2019 sharing the catwalk with former Miss SA and Miss Universe, Zozibini Tunzi. This year’s event will be powered by the Recycle 4 Africa Group as the main sponsor and the Wild Coast Sun as the venue sponsor. “My passion for beauty pageants started when I was just a little but it was a struggle to find good pageants locally in Lurholweni, Bizana. I had to travel to Durban most of the time” said the founder and director of SA Models Foundation, Minentle Qatsi.
“It was a struggle for me to travel all the time so I decided to start my own pageant, Miss Mzamba a while back with the help of my mother and Mr Bulala to help most of the aspiring models to avoid the same struggles I experienced. I noticed later on that there was a need for growth hence decision to rebrand the competition to accommodate the South Coast as well” she continued.
Mimi, as Minentle is affectionately known amongst her colleagues, is no stranger to high-end modelling competitions as well having won a few accolades in her modelling career. Some of the crowns she has won include SA Ultimate Top Model in 2021, Face of Johannesburg in 2014, Face of Continent Africa and Miss OR Tambo First Princess in 2013.
Tickets are R100 per person and will be available at the door at Tropical Nites Theatre, Wild Coast Sun on the day of the event. For more information, you can contact Mimi directly via a phone call or WhatsApp at 071 265 8875.
