One of Kariega’s most loved pageants, Eastern Cape’s Next Top Model is back in full swing. The crowning of the 2024/2025 titles will happen in just a few days.
This pageant is registered and hosted by Kariega’s own Raynaldo Bredenkamp, who has been the director and founder of R Model Management & Agency since 2009.
It is combined with Uitenhage’s Next Top Model and Port Elizabeth’s Next Top Model Supreme which will take place simultaneously on Saturday, March 23, 2024 at the St Katherine’s Anglican Church Hall (Klipkerk) on the corner of Market Street and Durban Street, Kariega.
“The pageant theme ‘Spreading a little pixie dust and love wherever we go’, signals that hard work and dedication truly are at the centre of the winning formula. Throughout this pageant the finalist has managed to recruit donations towards the Zachary Bredenkamp Foundations’ Easter egg drive that is scheduled to take place later this month for the children in the rural areas of Kariega and Gqeberha,” Bredenkamp said.
R Model Management & Agency appeals to the public to support their events as each pageant is linked with a charity initiative. “Support from our communities helps us support and sustain our local and small charity organizations,” he added.
Bredenkamp also aims to host a workshop for the people of Kariega who run feeding schemes from their personal residences, to help them grow and be able to feed more people.
