It was great to meet you during our shoot at Toadbury Hall. What were your expectations before the shoot and how did we fair in the end?
I did not expect a lot, so it left me feeling overwhelmed as a lot of good came out of the shoot. Meeting the crew, connecting with new people, having a laugh, being lighthearted. I am impressed with the directors of the shoot – they pose better than any model can, who knew men had it in them?

Which scene do you feel you looked the sexiest in?
All of them. You are as good as your team, and the team did not let me down. All of the scenes have something different to offer, how do I pick from them?

You are heavily active and involved in the fitness industry. How did you get into it and what drives your to be a part of it?
I got into it by accident. I really just wanted to fit into a bikini on the beach. As soon as I got good mentorship with my training and eating, it had such a great impact on all aspects of my life that it became like a snowball effect. Soon it became a passion, so much so, that I started competing and changed my career to help people with online body transformations.

You competed in the IFBB Gauteng Provincials this past weekend. Tell us about the comp and how it went?
This was my 12th competition that I have done over the past 5 years. I have recently stepped up from “normal bikini” to “fitness bikini, short class”. I made it to top three, yes, let me shout that out loud. I am feeling damn proud, and have been invited to compete at the South African Championships and represent Central Gauteng. Hell, yeah. I mean I worked my ass off, literally. I am pretty stoked but a little sad that it will be the last one for this year. Till next year I will focus on prepping to compete Internationally and getting the best results for my online body transformation clients.

Regarding preparation and lifestyle, what do the weeks leading up to a comp entail for you?
Discipline, consistency, perseverance, persistence and belief. First you need to get the mind right. You can’t be kak, you need to be lekker. Then training twice every day and a lot of clean eating. The trick is, life carries on and you need to make a habit out of prepping your food, getting the training done and not taking your daily strain out on people in your life because you decided to take on an extreme lifestyle. Just carry on living and have fun with it or you might just be doing it wrong. Your life does not have to change because of food and training.

What’s your cheat day highlight?
I do like it to not really be planned. The more spontaneous the cheat, the better. I am a sucker for Andiccio Freezochino or a Popcorn and Smartie mix at the movies, or anything nice at a family gathering or dinner with friends.

Give us some insight into the company you have recently started?
It has always been a dream to inspire, motivate and empower women, therefore I just started off a business very recently. It is an online body transformation business, eating and training plans. We practice discipline and control on our bodies, and it affects all the points in our daily lives to be the best versions of ourselves. We take on males and females of all ages. From weight loss to lifestyle, to mothers who would want to lose baby fat, to people getting ready for holiday, to models, to sportsmen, athletes, conditioning to get ready for stage, etc. We are taking on clients now but the big launch will be in 2016. So get involved, there’s no better time than the present.

What are your goals for your new company and where do you see yourself in 5 years?
We are results driven. Custom made eating plans according to your specific lifestyle and goals with a support system. I would want to take on trainers who put in a lot of love and passion in the desired programs to give the best results to my local and international clients. Quality over quantity.
I will be a full time bikini athlete, because I quite enjoy it, and would like to work with partners to be the most trusted and reliable brand.

So what type of guys and what type of mannerisms are a turn on for you?
Confidence is key. Low admin, good head on their shoulders, driven, spontaneous and loyal. Please have a sense of homour, a girl needs to laugh.

Your perfect match walks into the room, what do you do to make sure he notices you and to seal the deal?
“Hello” is a good start.

Have you ever kisses a girl? If so, did you like it?
Yeah, been there done that, but, to get attention off course. Back in the day. A kiss, is a kiss, is a kiss. It is what it is.

Locked in a room with 3 celebrities. Which one do you marry, which one do you brush off and which one do you have a one-night-stand with?
Well one of them is probably gay, so left with two. The gay one got brushed off. The other one with the “one-night stand” persona, I would probably want to avoid. The one who is really into me, and who woos me the best, I would probably want to marry. But don’t ask me to make an example of an existing celebrity. Rather ask me about an athlete or a sportsman.

What’s the best word of advice that you’ve ever received?
Trust your gut.
