Yet behind the dazzling crown lies a story deeply rooted in family, faith and an unwavering belief in hard work.<\/p>\n<p>Growing up in Edenvale, Jenique\u2019s childhood was filled with curiosity and ambition. At school she eagerly took part in every activity, from public speaking and athletics to eisteddfods and netball. \u2018My proudest moment was when I was chosen to be the school\u2019s head girl,\u2019 says Jenique.<\/p>\n<p>Her love of participation continued through high school, where she thrived, \u2018In my matric year, I served as deputy head girl of sport, captained the cheerleading team and played for the first netball team, loving every moment,\u2019 she says.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Family first<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>For Jenique, family has always been her foundation.

Everything about the organisation resonated with her. \u2018It\u2019s not just another pageant; it\u2019s a movement empowering women to lead, educate and advocate for a greener, more sustainable future,\u2019 adds Jenique.<\/p>\n<p>Winning Miss Earth South Africa was the culmination of years of dedication. \u2018It was never just about the title,\u2019 she says. \u2018It was about the growth it took to get there. One of her proudest moments was participating in the organisation\u2019s Mandela Day Project, collecting food for those in need.\u2019 My primary school, M.W. de Wet, joined in and I had the privilege of returning to speak to the learners about giving back. Their enthusiasm was infectious and it led to an invitation to plant trees with them too.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Tree planting has since become one of her favourite activities and she has done plantings in communities with Samsonite, Skin Renewal and Cathay Pacific. \u2018It\u2019s amazing how something so simple can ignite such excitement,\u2019 she says. When she\u2019s not studying or fulfilling her duties, Jenique finds peace in creativity and compassion. She also volunteers at a local cat shelter, describing it as \u2018deeply fulfilling\u2019.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Festive reflections<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>As the year draws to a close, Jenique looks forward to her family\u2019s beloved festive traditions. \u2018It\u2019s definitely my favourite time of the year, she shares.
