Inside Pageant : When did you first start competing in pageants?
Neenã Macaire Bezuidenhout ⚜ My Grandmother and Mother was the inspiration to the start of my pageantry and modelling career. Both my Grand Mother and Mother entered me into my first pageant when I was 3 months old. I have been in the Modelling and Pageant industry ever since history has been made.
Inside Pageant : What sparked your interest in beauty pageants?
Neenã Macaire Bezuidenhout ⚜ Beauty pageants open up many doors for people that have a true love for what they do. It gives each individual a platform to create the change that they would want to and love to see in this world and that being said a change in all humanity’s hearts. You get the opportunity to empower yourself aswell as give others the power to empower themselves to be better and to keep believing in the validity of their dreams/goals. I love to be a beauty with a pure heart that uplifts, inspires, empowers and motivates all people to create change and leave behind their mark in the hearts of others to continue their legacy. The most important part and aspect of being a beauty queen is to get your hands physically dirty and always remember to be involved where you are needed. Charity work always lies close to my heart and it is a part of my identity.
Inside Pageant : Can you tell us about your pageantry journey?
Neenã Macaire Bezuidenhout ⚜ I physically started walking on stage at the age of two and a half years old and scooped all the medals and trophies at the Modelling exam that very same year. I have accomplished and own several titles to date both Nationally and Internationally.

This was my first ever International pageant that I have competed in. I was 19 years old.

Pageant Inside : What do you like about competing in pageants?
Neenã Macaire Bezuidenhout ⚜ I love the adrenalin rush that I get when going on stage, owning every given moment/opportunity, representing my true authentic self, sharing pieces of my heart and being confident & comfortable in my own skin.
Every experience is an whole new experience on its own and it is all about learning, growing and improving within yourself.
There are so many things that you constantly learn about such as communication skills, leadership, improvement on all areas of your inner and outer self. These skills will carry you for the rest of your life and in all parts of your life.
You will soon find the rest of this interview in the first issue of our magazine Inside Pageant. In the meantime, you can follow her on social media.
