Former Skeem Saam actress Pearl Nikolic wants to be the next Mrs South Africa.
The mum and wife, who starred on the SABC1 show as Sonti, is a Top 100 finalist and she hopes to leave a mark in the pageant.
She spoke to Daily Sun about why she joined the pageant.
“When I saw the platform and what they strive for, which is to empower, celebrate and help women with their self-confidence, it was something I wanted to be part of and experience,” she said.
“They teach you things that you can’t go to school for. This a great platform for women and I thought partaking in this would bring out a different side of me like entrepreneurial skills. It also gives you an opportunity to meet a lot of people and brands,” she said.
She said she knows God wants to use her through this journey.
“I’m in ministry. God has called me and I’m focused on that. I’m currently training as a pastor and this came a hard push from the Holy spirit because God will use me to spread His message. I also have a non-profit organisation that engages with communities that are underprivileged. This, for me, is the art of the ministry to be a reflection of God and do His work,” said Pearl.
“God will align me in this competition and expose me to things I wouldn’t have been able to get by myself. He wouldn’t have let me enter if it wasn’t for His will. I might want to win the crown, but God might want me to do something else and save some people during this process,” she said.
Pearl said she is excited to be a part of the pageant.
“I am so excited, but this is also so overwhelming. This past weekend, we had a conference where we met everyone and it was beautiful. It will be a fulfilling journey and what makes it more exciting is that they equip us according to whatever we need. It’s exciting to share this with other incredible women,” said the actress.
