Breast Buddies and Mr South Africa

On Saturday I gave a motivational talk at the inaugural fundraising function for Breast Buddies in Cape Town. The fundraiser at Edgemead Primary was very well attended with over 230 people enjoying the afternoon's food and entertainment from the beautifully laid banqueting tables. Steven Segal, this year's Mr South Africa who was MC and Auctioneer for the event was also sat at our table. He was accompanied by one of runners up in the upcoming Mr South Africa who was keen to get a feel of what Mr South Africa's role entails. Both men, other than quite obviously being very good looking were charming, warm and friendly. Mr South Africa is never decided on looks alone, but I was surprised to learn that other than having great interpersonal skills he has to be able to show talents in areas like singing or dancing when competing in the Mr Universe competition. We have a super ambassadors for our country with both these men, and wish Steven the best of luck for Mr Universe next year.

The fundraiser was a great success. Everyone who arrived seemed to enjoy the whole event thoroughly, which also included the Edgemead Primary choir singing some beautiful and moving songs, dancing, children playing marimbas and drums, and lucky draw prizes before the auction. The funds raised will be donated to the Breast Health Foundation.
