I had quite the eventful Saturday; started the morning with a 10 km fun run n Irene, and then I had to get ready for the New Hearts festival. The festival had a slow start but from about 12 o’clock more people started showing up, my fun started early as the MC for the event pulled me onto stage to market myself.
I had to ask all the ladies to vote on the sms lines, it was a funny feeling to get up on stage to tell the people about Mr South Africa but I am very glad I did it, because people has a very wrong idea about Mr South Africa, for some reason everyone think it is a modelling competition.
If I win Mr South Africa I would like to change that perception of this competition, although I think looks does play a role to be chosen as the winner, charity and community uplifment has played a much bigger role thus far and that is how I think the public should see this competition.
At the festival I did my part at the festival by volunteering my services, we were divided into groups and each group had a 2 hour slot to help out. The Festival was n HUGE success, there were lots of fun events and I am confident that our church has made a big leap financially to establish our own home for the elderly.
The crowds really enjoyed Bobby van Jaarsveld as he was the main celebrity to attend the festival and I must say he is a real entertainer, I think most of the ladies only attended the event to see him J at least there was some nice stuff for the guys as well, 4 x 4 trails, Paintball and Off road bikes doing some BIG jumps.
All and all an awesome day and it just make it that much better that all the proceeds are going to be used for a good cause.
