Netsport Media has helped launch some of the most recognised faces in the industry including Bar Rafaela, Xenia Deli, and Sarah Stephens, Samantha Hopes and Solveig Mork as well as some of South Africa\u2019s biggest exports such as Candice Swanepoel, Genevieve Morton, Dominique Pike and Jessica Buchanan.<\/p>\n
Sun International\u2019s public relations manager Claudia Henkel said, \u201cThis is a coup for the Miss South Africa brand and a huge opportunity for the 12 Miss South Africa finalists and the winner, who will get her own four-page spread.\u201d<\/p>\n
Aretha Cars well, co-founder of World Swimsuit South Africa and managing director of Netsport Media said, \u201cWe love young women who are easy in their skin.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are not looking for perfection but prefer girls who are beautiful in a fresh, wholesome and effortless way.<\/p>\n
\u201cOur audience wants to relate to them, and it is important that women in particular identify with the models we choose \u2013 healthy looking, fit, curvaceous bodies contrary to the perception that all models must be skinny or rake thin.\u201d<\/p>\n
