After completing her journey with Mrs South Africa in July, Chantell Davis’ commitment to helping individuals break free from the constraints of societal norms and to walk with a purpose remains unwavering. Recognising the profound impact of pageants as platforms for women’s empowerment, she has set her sights on a new endeavour – entering Mrs Universe South Africa.
Last Monday (7 August) Davis received the happy news that she was named a semi-finalist in Mrs Universe South Africa 2023, and embarks on an exciting seven-month journey to the crown. “On receiving the astonishing news my heart was brimming with joy and profound gratitude,” the Helderberger said.
As part of her Mrs Universe South Africa journey she is committed to helping raise awareness and finding sustainable solutions to combat the pervasive and damaging effects of gender-based violence (GBV), bullying and discrimination that plague all sectors of society. Understanding the transformative potential of “beauty with a purpose”, she will participate in Mrs Universe to effect positive and lasting change in society.
The GBV scourge continues to inflict devastating consequences on individuals, families and communities. In light of this, Davis intends to spearhead impactful initiatives and community engagement programmes to address GBV head-on. Through collaboration with local organisations, educational institutions and community leaders she plans to host seminars, workshops and awareness campaigns that educate, support and inspire individuals to take a stand against GBV to create a safer and more inclusive society.
Driven by a deep-rooted belief that every individual deserves a life free from fear and discrimination, Davis extends an open invitation to all community members to join her. “I extend an open invitation to all community members to join forces, so together we can raise our collective voice, eradicate GBV and pave the way for a future where victims become victors and our community thrives in an environment of compassion, respect and empowerment.”
