JEFFREYS BAY<\/strong> – Joshua Jansen (19), a local teen from Jeffreys Bay, has returned to South Africa with the Mr Teen World 2025 title. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The international competition, which brings together contestants from more than 20 countries, took place earlier in November and assessed participants on more than physical presentation alone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the pageant, contestants took part in interviews, public appearances, and group activities designed to evaluate confidence, discipline, and cross-cultural engagement. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For Jansen, the experience provided exposure to a wide range of perspectives, as he spent several weeks alongside young men from diverse social, cultural and religious backgrounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The competition required extensive preparation, with a demanding schedule that included rehearsals, interviews, and on-stage evaluations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jansen has described the experience as one that reinforced the importance of consistency and self-discipline, particularly in high-pressure environments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As titleholder, Jansen will serve a year-long term as Mr Teen World 2025. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

His responsibilities include attending official events, participating in youth-oriented initiatives, and acting as an ambassador for the organisation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The role places a strong emphasis on positive representation and community engagement, particularly among young people navigating issues related to identity, confidence and purpose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Looking ahead, Jansen plans to continue his involvement in youth-focused projects. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

These include the development of his podcast, which centres on conversations relevant to young people, as well as ongoing mentorship and creative initiatives aligned with his personal values. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

His focus, he says, will remain on long-term impact rather than visibility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jansen\u2019s achievement places Kouga on the international pageant map and highlights the growing presence of South African youth on global platforms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
