Ranyane not scared of critics
SEBOKENG.- Young, petite and beautiful.
The above words , define 22-year-old Mamello Ranyane, a model from dusty township of Polokong who has set her sights high in the modelling world. Having always wanted to be on a ramp and be crowned as a 'Queen', she started being in love with modelling after she saw Zozibini Tunzi being crowned Miss SA.
She then, she said, started to practice walks and posing at home, where she also learned more about modelling after she did research.
'I sought out opportunities after that. I am a beauty pageant model currently taking a new step to become fashion model. I'm also currently working on my personal project which is distributing clothes to those in need as a way of giving back to community and motivating the youth,' Ranyane said.
Ranyane is on the lookout for professional agencies that will improve her skills.
It has not, however, been smooth sailing for the beauty.
'I've faced some challenges where I have been shamed about my beauty, body and mostly about my short height. I overcome the challenges by being very confident and with my motto, 'Embrace your potential, Be bold, be seen and Be you'.'
Ranyane's long term goal is to be crowned Miss SA.
'To the youth out there I would like to let them know that they should believe in themselves, must never give up on their talents and they should know that they have choices in determining their future.'
Ranyane's achievements:
Crowned Miss Face of Boiketlong 2022
Miss Welkom 2nd princess 2022
Miss Vaal Model of the year Most Confident 2023, and currently
Miss Elegant Gauteng 2024/2025 Finalist
