Ex-Miss SA, Chuene inspires the youth

YOUNG people need to be nurtured, encouraged and protected.

- SIYABONGA SITHOLE

These are the words of former Miss SA, Augustine Chuene, who at the weekend spent her day encouraging young people from Ezimbuzini informal settlement during an uplifting Breast and Reproductive Health Impact on Mental Health panel conversation event held at the iconic Eyethu Shopping Centre's Heritage Hall in Soweto.

The event which gave young girls a head-start on the importance of taking care of their bodies was organised by an international organisation Royal Table Global Consult, and Faith Ministry led by Dr Sindile Mathebula.

"For me, being part of this event was a no-brainer as I have known Dr Mathebula from church for a long time. Besides that, I am from Soweto. I grew up here and like the young people who are here, I was a young girl just like them.
