Young Matundu is ready to conquer the world

Her philosophy of life is "dream until your dreams come true through hard work and dedication".

This is the driving force behind a young model and actress, Musina-based Raechel Matundu (15), towards her dreams of succeeding in the modelling industry.

She is passionate, confident and enthusiastic enough to make her dreams come true and has already shown her determination by winning several beauty pageants. Among her conquests are Miss Valentine, Miss Glitz and Glamour, Miss Junior Limpopo, Miss Teen Musina and Miss Vito Magazine.

From 2011to 2014, Matundu worked at the local radio station, Musina FM. She has also been scouted to take part in the Applause Rising Talent Showcase (ARTS) 2015 in June in America. This is a platform hosted to identify talented individuals in acting, singing, dancing and modelling.

The ARTS also gives exposure to artists and models to perform in front of successful agencies, casting directors, producers, managers and record labels from all around the world, including Sony Records, Icon Studios, Universal Studios, Trump model management, New York model management, GLA Agency Los Angelese, Disney and Taylor Studios and many more to make people live their dreams.

"I started modelling at the age of 10. I was assigned to a modelling training school known as Capture Models. It all started as an audition held in my province. My first audition was known as Summer Heat Search. Later, one of the directors, Kim Myers, came from overseas to scout talent at the second audition, known as the International Talent Showcase. This is where I was invited to perform overseas and I will be representing South Africa under the auspices of Just You Artist and Model Management."

She says that she is determined to come back with the crown. "I have the qualities to make the grade and I am going to make South Africa proud and a difference in my community," she adds.
