After graduating, she decided to take the rest of the year off from university to pursue a full time career in modelling and also to embark on her journey of giving back to her community and country. “I have been working with a number of non-profit organisations that include Babies Behind Bars and Pilgrim Oasis Community Children’s Outreach in Eldorado Park and adjacent informal settlement in Kliptown. “In June 2014, I launched my own NPO, The Pearl Project, which aims to create a beacon of hope club through motivational and educational workshops for young girls and is held at various schools in my community. I believe that being a blessing to others has truly enriched my life.” About Miss South Africa 2015, 2nd Princess – Ntsiki Mkhize Ntsiki Mkhize is 23 and comes from Kliprivier, Midvaal, and holds a BCom Marketing Management and a BCom Honours in Logistics Management from the University of Johannesburg.
