Miss Garden Route South Africa
Finally… the results for the “Miss Garden Route South Africa” are out! “Lalakoi” Hanno Coetzee has joined the YCADEMY Seminar with the latest news and the winning result…
Louise Muller crowned “Miss Garden Route and Klein Karoo 2009″
“Miss Garden Route and Klein Karoo 2009″ beauty pageant, Miss Louise Muller (18) from Mossel Bay was crowned “Miss Garden Route & Klein Karoo 2009″ at last night’s prestigious event at the Garden Route Casino in Mossel Bay, South Africa. It must have been young Louise’s outgoing personality that charmed the Jury to choose her as the “Face of the Garden Route for 2009” as well as the Ambassador for Tourism of the Garden Route and Klein Karoo.
It was last year’s winner, Noluthando Mkhobeni, who crowned the winners.
The second runner up was Miss Nathalie Graaff (23) from Mossel Bay and the first princess Miss Jeandre de Villiers (19) from Oudtshoorn.
The glamours Gala took place at Pinacle point, hosted by Garden Route Casino.
Miss Garden Route South Africa
YCADEMY Seminar participant from George, Hanno Coetzee (Lalakoi) , was at the event and gave some enthusiastic feedback:
“I’ve been to several of these Gardenroute pageants – this was the best… well organized… the girls fantastic… and so many images! I am sorting out images since 6 am this morning… my eyes are sore as I had too much to look at! I posted a number of posts… and the the winner was Louise Muller!
What I liked is that people started recognizing “Lalakoi” and “Lalakoi Publishing”. I like to sit at my PC while people enjoy themselves… but they need to know I am here.”
Q: Who organized this event?
Lalakoi:
It was the Garden Route Casino organizing it… it’s from the Garden Route and Klein Karroo (it’s not a province, it’s a rigid type of semi-desert area, but people are living there and farming there… it’s a very nice areea to stay. Like the Garden Route is an area… each type of vegetation has another name.
Q: Was there a local jury? A professional jury?
Lalakoi:
They were professional people; the management of the casino, the previous Miss SA’s… people who know what they are doing. The sorting out started 2-3 weeks ago… the theme of the event was to support battered children and women (Abuse). They also have shelters where the women and kids are looked after. One of each shelter lady got a make-over and the best make-over won a price. They all got presents and gifts… and all the money of the event is going towards these shelters.
Q: What does the winner win?
Lalakoi:
The total price of the event was R 200.000,–; the winner won in total about R75.000,– (R17,000 in cash) . The rest was going to the other girls. The winner will also be entered into the Miss South Africa Competition. The winner from last year will also enter the Miss South Africa Competition…
Besides… we had fantastic rains at last… after going through the worst droughts since 123 years …
Congratulations! Well done!
