Male Fashion model Olwetu Magodla

Getting to know Olwetu Magodla

Chatting with Olwetu about his modeling interest, this isn't the first time the modeling topic comes up between me and him Lolwetu Magodla.

Infect that's exactly how we first knew each other in 2012 when he told me about his interest to Join ReflectSA models.

Now that Lolwetu is finally part of Reflect SA models, we all come to know about this handsome young man from the Eastern cape.

I ask Olwetu to tell me about his background growing up,

He says:

I grew up in the dusty streets of Mdantsane that is in East London in the Eastern Cape. Growing up I had a lot of friends, I used to make friends everyday, like I said I'm a peoples person, very socialite.. Although life was rough there, meaning it wasn't safe (crime) I stayed in Mdansane until I was 13 years, my mother decided to move to Cape Town. It wasn't easy to adapt, but life in Cape Town was kinda fast every1 had something to do, that's when I decided to go for my modeling interest, something that I always wanted to do, something that I love.

Who is Olwetu?

He tells me:
"Olwetu is a peoples person who's all about life and everything about it. I believe I'm a great guy, down to earth and always have a smile on my face. I love camera, very weird for a guy but its just how I am, I love modeling and I believe models aren't born perfect that's the truth behind it, that most people don't know about".

When did you come to JHB?

He says:
"In 2012 I moved to Joburg looking for opportunities in the modeling industry. I'm still doing it but I want to take it far, I aim to be a professional fashion model".

Now that we all know about Olwetu, I have no doubts that this young man has surely taken the right steps to join
ReflectSA models, and is here to make it big in the modeling and fashion industry.

I ask him
When did you realize that you want to do modeling?

He says:
"My interest for modeling started when I was still in Primary School in 1998, I always entered for Mr. Personality and always took the 1st place. Besides the height I believed that I have a face for it. It didn't end there I took it to high School doing fashion shows, the modeling have gone way beyond my expectations".

Who/what inspires you in modeling?

He tells me:
"Getting to meet professional models like Vincent Ntunja who inspires me".

'Coming from the township became my force to succeed' said Mr Ntunja. #Re Quotes Olwetu

So I also believe that modeling will be my big break. I believe I am meant to be a professional fashion model".

Reflect SA models magazine gives Luyanda Mqakelana a platform to launch her self into Modeling!

Talking about the Drankensberg mountains, one in a city like Johannesburg can only think of a beautiful holiday destination in the beautiful mountains. My self been raised up, surrounded by the same mountains, I can only tell you that those mountains are not just beautiful but, a lot of beautiful people come from there.

A new beautiful face to join @ReflectSA models is a gem of beauty Luyanda Mqakelana, who has passion and love for modeling; who wants to reach her highest potentials in modeling.

Reflect SA as a platform to promote potential models from all around South Africa, to launch their personal brands in modeling, through shared links, straight from the blog, to social networks; has just been at reach, to see that Luyanda Mqakelana takes initial steps, to realize her dream. This is surely a first step, you will be seeing more of this beauty.

In her own words Luyanda puts her values, passion and motivations in life:

"Luyanda is a young lady who is a dreamer, growing up in a small village in the northern parts of the Eastern cape, one never really dreamed beyond the beautiful drakensberg mountains, that she sees everyday.

She tells me how:
She grew up with a different perspective, about beauty and fashion until she set out beyond the beautiful mountains; emphasizing how her initial interest in beauty started with make up, hair extensions, and nails; to enhance her beauty.

She tells me that:
With the opportunity that Reflect SA models offers, she sees her self inspiring other girls and boys beyond their limitations, into dreaming bigger and knowing that no matter where you come from you can be what you dream.

She also tells me that how:
Being born of a single parent, who had to work, while been raised by her granny who taught her how to be a praying woman, keeps her feet on the ground to know where she comes from, and know where she's going.

On how Luyanda describes her self:

"I'm beautiful inside and out, have a gift of listening to people and being there for them without forcing my own opinion on them, outgoing; fun, kind and loyal. I never take anything for granted, I always push myself to excel".

I can only conclude by saying, It only fulfills ones self to value your self, and push beyond limits to realize your dream. I believe that Reflect SA is here to give one, that opportunity.
