Tanja de Meillon has been named a Bare Beauty Mrs. South Africa semi\u00adfinalist for 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Her journey as a semi\u00adfinalist began on 5 March, when this was announced virtually on Mrs. South Africa\u2019s Instagram profile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI am honoured to once again represent the Goldfields. In 1995 I was crowned as the Vista<\/i><\/span>Miss Goldfields first princess,\u201d she says. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI would love my journey to bring hope to many who have come through hard times, as life has taken me through many battles of my own, and I can relate. Thank you to my supporters through the good and challenging times. I hope to make you proud.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tanya is wife to Abe Gouws, mother to three teenagers, a beauty therapist, a business woman, an author and a musician (trumpeter) \u2013 and together with her husband is in the second year of an international business leadership school training programme. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhat encouraged me most to enter, was that this competition is really a self-development programme for married everyday women, to become the best version of themselves and take that power to go and be what the world around them needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe emphasis is not on the crown, but on tackling the challenge to go past the limits placed upon oneself.\u201d <\/i>\n<\/i><\/p>\n\n\n\n
