DE DOORNS – Roxanne Robinson, a mother of two and full-time employee at Cape Winelands District Municipality, has emerged as a beacon of hope and determination in her community. As a finalist in the Mrs Bold South Africa pageant, Robinson’s journey reflects her unwavering commitment to making a positive impact on the lives of others.
Robinson’s path to the finals of the pageant has been marked by both challenges and triumphs. Despite facing obstacles along the way she remains steadfast in her mission to use her platform to address pressing issues facing her community, including abortion, teenage pregnancies, distribution of sanitary pads in schools and advocating for women who have experienced divorce.
“For me being a finalist is an honour and a true privilege,” Robinson shared. “This platform gives me the opportunity to reach even more people and make an even bigger difference in so many lives.”
Born and raised in De Doorns, Robinson is deeply connected to her community and is determined to use her platform to bring attention to issues that matter most to its residents.
From tackling rising murder rates to inspiring individuals to strive for a better life, her aspirations extend far beyond the glitz and glamour of the pageant stage.
“I want to inform our community that it does not matter where you come from; you can still make something of your life.”
Despite the demands of balancing her responsibilities as a finalist with her personal and professional life Robinson remains resolute in her dedication to her cause.
With the support of her family, friends, and sponsors such as Nico Swanepoel, who generously sponsored her trip to a recent workshop in Johannesburg, she continues to navigate the challenges with grace and determination.
Looking ahead, Robinson’s aspirations extend beyond the Mrs Bold South Africa pageant. With a vision to redefine community work and leave a lasting legacy she aims to give back to her community in ways that transcend traditional notions of charity.
“With the help of my community I want to give community work a new face and meaning,” she affirmed. “It’s not just about giving back; it’s about what you leave behind and the way you approach people and deal with challenges.”
As the final show approaches on 25 October 2024, all eyes are on Roxanne Robinson, a finalist with a bold vision and an unwavering commitment to making a difference in the world around her.
