FOR THIS ISSUE WE COULDN’T RESIST BRINGING YOU THE SUPER SEXY GITTE KIETZMANN AS OUR M.E BABE. Adventurous, funloving and mischievous at times, this born-and-bred go-getter from Pretoria is not someone who holds back and lives life to the full, 24/7. Get to know her a bit better as she sizzles on these pages!
You have an interesting name. Are you from German origin?
No, I was named after Gitte (Brigitte) Nielsen, Sylvester Stallone’s first wife. My mom could not make up her mind between Gula, Jesca or Gitte.
Tell us more about yourself?
I view myself as a fun person who always sees the humour in everything. I love to laugh and make jokes. I’m definitely a dreamer, but I have the courage and determination to follow through and pursue my dreams. If you want to be my friend, approaching me with an ice cream is always a good idea...
How did you become involved in the local fitness industry?
The day I met fitness model and Pro athlete Angelique van der Linde I got bitten by the fitness bug. She has always been a true inspiration to me and the reason I entered my first fitness competition, where I took first place in the Beach Bikini line-up. I love the excitement as well as the pressure of the stage!
Have you always been active?
Yes, at school I did every sport under the sun! My family all excelled in sports, so it was natural for me. I’ve done everything from gymnastics to action cricket and drum majorettes. I guess I thrive on the challenge sport offers.
What is your trick to keeping confident in front of the judges on stage?
For me to walk on stage confident I need to know and feel I’m in the best shape of my life and that I’m giving it my everything. I always have butterflies just before I step on stage, but that’s part of the fun and adrenalin rush of competing.
