She redefines the meaning of beauty with her stunning looks, charming personality and has already made a name for herself in the modelling world.
What sets her apart is her passion for using her platform to raise awareness about substance abuse and inspire positive change in her community. As a finalist for International Teen Supermodel South Africa, Chantel has gained a significant following and is determined to use her influence to make a difference.
"I started modelling in 2022 at a Provincial pageant titled Miss Capricorn and standing in front of a huge crowd for the very first time was absolutely amazing.
My mom is my motivation, she is always there for me to ensure everything goes well, I am where I am because of her support”, she said.
Chantel's passion for substance abuse awareness and prevention is rooted in her desire to protect her community from the devastating effects of addiction
“I want to help people understand the risks, substance abuse is a serious issue that affects us all, and it's time we take action," she shared. With a strong sense of conviction, she is dedicated to using her platform to raise awareness and inspire positive change.
There are lots of challenges that comes along with being a model, most importantly the issue of support in terms of donations. “ As a model, you need to be financially stable. There are a lot of things that are required and they need money. So, sometimes when you go out asking for donations from people, shops, business owners or anywhere, you can encounter people that are negative and non-supportive or supportive”, added Chantel.
She continues on her journey to make a difference through God and hardwork. With her beauty, brains, and determination, Chantel is a true role model for young people everywhere. Her advice to youth out there is to believe in themselves and use education as tool to fight against poverty.
“The grand finale for International Teen Supermodel South Africa was supposed to be on the 28th September but postponed to the 18th of December 2024 . Anyone is welcome to buy tickets at ticketpro and you can find information on how to do that on my social media handles.”, she concluded
