Vuyiswa Dazzles in Modelling

 


  Model: Vuyiswa Tonono

The name Vuyiswa Tonono is all too familiar with beauty pageants in the country. Her winning the Miss University of Malawi (Unima) 2019, Miss Chancellor College in 2018, Miss Chichiri Secondary School in 2015, and the Miss Valentine’s Blantyre 2016 Speaks volumes of her colorful career as a model.

The 21-year-old model could not think of a better time to join the bandwagon of models in the Country other than 2011 when the trade was already at its peak. The reality that she started her journey as a gifted model at a tender age of nine is a message that she has huge plans for the modelling industry.

The modelling ace is pursuing a bachelor’s degree in social and economic history (Forth Year) at Chancellor College, a constituent college of the University of Malawi. Vuyiswa underlines that she balances well between school and modelling.

“I always find it easy integrating my studies with modelling assignments because I work on schedules and time management is an integral factor in my life,” she says.

The kind of tenacity of purpose she has been displaying during bygone beauty pageants is evidence that there is a mentor behind the scenes. She admits that her mother has been instrumental in all her success as regards modelling and education.

“I started modelling when I was nine. However, I count myself as someone who is lucky to have a supportive mother. It has been a joy getting success tips from her at an early stage,” she says.

Born on November 29 2000, the Machinjiri-based model has a heart for girl child empowerment, therefore she plans to start a youth organization that will present girls with a platform to amplify their voice and gain some much-needed spotlight at national level.

She says: As a role model, I have always harboured a dream of inspiring girls to believe in the beauty of their potential and dreams.

“Girls should have the belief that they can become whatever positive thing they dream of, because by the end of the day dreams do come true if chased with determination.”

The model gets her inspiration from Naomi Campbell.
