Daar is \u2019n voortslepende debat oor vroue wat voor mans geparadeer word sodat hulle na die vroue kan staar en hulle op hul uiterlike kan oordeel. Dit skep die opvatting dat enige vrou wat aan hierdie kompetisie deelneem dan nie baie slim kan wees nie, want wie sal kies om hulself so te verkleineer?<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Vir di\u00e9 wat kies om hul land internasionaal te verteenwoordig en vir \u2019n jaar \u2019n platform te kry om \u2019n kwessie onder mense se aandag te bring, is tien minute op die verhoog in \u2019n swembroek, glad nie uitbuiting nie. Dis \u2019n geleentheid om te gebruik soos jy wil.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Meeste swemklere vandag (dis nou di\u00e9 wat op strande gesien word) bied heelwat minder bedekking as wat op die verhoog gedra word. Die prysgeld, aansien en kontakte bied aan deelnemers \u2019n manier om hul doelwitte te bereik.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Mense gebruik hul liggaamlike vermo\u00ebns om in byvoorbeeld sport uit te blink, en hulle oefen hard vir kompetisies. Die skoonheidskompetisie kan in dieselfde lig beskou word. As jy \u2019n gawe vir syfers het en daardie gawe gebruik, dit slyp en dit benut, is niemand agterdogtig daaroor nie omdat jy jou kop gebruik. <em>\u201cSkoonheidskoninginne hoef net mooi te lyk,\u201d<\/em> word daar herhaaldelik ges\u00ea. Hulle is soos koeie by \u2019n basaar.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Ek dink nie enige skoonheidsdeelnemer wat op \u2019n nasionale vlak meeding, voel soos \u2019n koei nie. Ek weet die onderhoudsproses vra vrae en lok gesprek uit wat vir seker die gewone mens stof tot nadenke sal gee. Wanneer jy weer \u2019n paar gaste vir ete oornooi, vra jou gaste gerus dalk een of twee van hierdie vrae wat hierdie jong vroue moet antwoord, en kyk hoe goed vaar hulle. Hierdie nasionale verteenwoordigers, pragtig en fiks, onderskei hulself in die manier waarop hulle hul onder druk handhaaf en hulle hul in verskeie velde bekwaam.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Ek was 18 toe ek gewen het. Ek het sedertdien \u2019n BSci\u00a0 in sielkunde verwerf en in verskeie velde, van televisie tot openbare betrekkinge en vrouestudies, beweeg. Ek het deur al die jare en in al hierdie velde nog nie vroue te\u00ebgekom soos di\u00e9 by skoonheidskompetisies nie.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Tydens die Mej. Heelal-skoonheidskompetisie in New Orleans, het een van die bestuurders die skoonheidswenner beskryf en ges\u00ea <em>\u201chaar natuurlike selfvertroue loop omtrent oor\u201d<\/em>. Ek het agt voormalige deelnemers by die 2023-skoonheidskompetisie raakgeloop en ek het gemerk hoe hierdie vroue ander aanmoedig, hoe gaaf hulle is en hoe hulle hulself volgens hul behoeftes verwesenlik het. Hulle was op ander mense gefokus, sosialiseer graag en het iets vir hulself bereik. Nie een het oor hul voorkoms gepraat nie.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-135829 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/rooirose\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/96AAA017-A6DD-4CF0-B217-AA1442E2F81B_1_105_c-500x375.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Dis interessant, want in Amerika is dit asof almal met hul voorkoms behep is. Hoewel ons in \u2019n w\u00eareld leef wat neerkyk op enigiemand wat in \u2019n skoonheidskompetisie deelneem, word daar steeds soveel energie bestee aan hoe ons lyk. Hoe om dunner, jonger en mooier te wees. Wat om aan te trek, watter produkte om te gebruik en wat om te eet. As jy deur die gemiddelde toonaangewer (<\/span><i><span data-contrast=\"none\">influencer) <\/span><\/i><span data-contrast=\"none\">se Instagramblad kyk, het hulle gewoonlik maar baie min klere aan!\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">As jy, soos ek, gereeld na rooitapytgeleenthede gaan, sien jy sterre wat sulke deurskynende klere dra dat hulle netsowel in hul onderklere kon geloop het.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">So, wie is eerliker? Die vrou wat besluit om aan \u2019n kompetisie deel te neem met die gawes waarmee sy gebore is en so geleenthede na haar kant toe te bring en kontakte op te bou om haar drome te verwesenlik? Of die vrou wat s\u00ea sy stel glad nie belang daarin om haar uiterlike vir \u2019n wedstryd so ten toon te stel nie, maar ander vroue krities beoordeel op grond van wat hulle dra en hoe hulle lyk. En tog hou sy nie van die weerkaatsing wat sy in die spie\u00ebl sien nie.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">\u00a0Tydens <strong>Mej. Heelal 2023<\/strong> kon ek sien hoe ons asemrowende Mej. Suid-Afrika, <strong>Ndavi Nokeri<\/strong>, haar land met trots kon verteenwoordig. Ek het by die veiligheidspersoneel verbygeglip en ek het haar agter die verhoog tydens repetisies gevind. Sy\u2019t my herinner dat ons voorheen ontmoet het. Ek het haar tydens \u2019n vorige Mej. Suid-Afrika opgemerk. Haar naam was nie geroep nie en ek het vir haar gefluister: \u201cProbeer weer.\u201d Sy het en sy\u2019t gewen. <\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-135834 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/rooirose\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/45E38D0E-4700-4F75-B18B-F6FCDFA721F9_1_105_c-500x375.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Baie mense gee op wanneer hul droom nie waar word nie. Die les wat Ndavi byvoorbeeld deel is om die moed te h\u00ea om jou droom op \u2019n ander manier na te jaag en te sien of jy nie dit dalk dan bereik nie. Dit is wat Ndavi my aan herinner het. Ek het opgestaan en soos \u2019n kind begin gil toe haar naam vir die top-16 uitgeroep is. Ek was daar.

Dit was eers tydens die repetisie toe sy haarself saggies verskoon het en sy na die verhoog gelei is terwyl foto\u2019s van haar dogter op die skerm agter haar vertoon is dat ek besef het sy is Cheslie se ma. Die Mej. Heelal-skoonheidskompetisie het besluit om Cheslie te vereer en het \u2019n boodskap na hul w\u00eareldwye gehoor gestuur, naamlik soek hulp wanneer jy \u2019n emosionele krisis beleef.
