Mr SA within grasp for this local teacher

The contest kicked off in March last year and Bronkhorst was among the top 100.

“I believe that a mistake isn’t a mistake if you learn from it, it’s a lesson.”
If he should become Mr South Africa, he will be dedicating himself to his country while aiming to do good wherever he goes.
