She may have the perfect posture for the ramp, but Miss Teen World, Katlego Ncala admits she is a regular teen who is a tomboy at heart. She is a soccer player of note and well, she is not quite sure if she will ever quit the soccer field and hang up her soccer boots for high heels and modelling ramps.
“My parents are so afraid (of me playing soccer) now. My mom said I had to choose between soccer and photo-shoots. I said she would find me on the soccer field,” Katlego said with a laugh.
The 15-year-old who was crowned Miss Teen World during a pageant in Turkey earlier this year met up with News24 at a restaurant at the Michelangelo Hotel in Sandton.
Seated on a couch at the restaurant, a pianist plays soft music in the background and Katlego, who frequents Sandton with her friends, is an image of elegance.
Big dreams
While she is excited about her new title, Katlego’s dreams are bigger than the modelling ramp.
“I want to study law,” the 15-year-old Grade 9 pupil from Crawford College tells News24.
“Firstly, for its good pay and secondly, because I like sharing my opinions and hearing another person’s views,” she said with a chuckle.
Just hours before the interview, she wrote her first mid-year exam, isiZulu.
“It was not as hard as I expected it to be,” she said.
“But I never say my exams are easy. I can say I am an A-student but not in all my subjects. I always just try my best though.” – News24.
