Things I gave up for the Miss South Africa Crown | Rolene Strauss

[@polzoh3697]

Still one of the most beautiful and intelligent Miss World and Miss South Africa in history. ❤

[@rolenestrauss2506]

Hope to see you all in the live chat tomorrow ❤️ 💭

[@hey-zl6vs]

Can you make a video ,how you prepared for miss world /universe?

[@cputhforlife]

Miss south Africa beautiful 💕 Queen 💝💞👏🌎

[@roberthahenney8469]

Your English is beautiful... every milestone should be celebrated!!

[@rolenestrauss3176]

Thanks Robertha, so true!

[@gomski]

I always thought a South African accent is pretty sophisticated and sexy. I'm surprised some people think otherwise.

[@timothyjversace]

Goms Binalla ikr! I love their accent

[@gomski]

Sal m For sure. Most countries have different accents. The ones I heard from South Africa like Demi, Tamaryn, Dr. Susan David and hers sound sophisticated to me though. I heard South African stand up comedian, Urzila Carson say South African accent is the unsexiest accent though; So, maybe people from SA don’t see their accent as pleasant sounding? Idk if that’s the case for the majority of people from SA.

[@gomski]

Sal m Cool!

5:03 I struggled to articulate myself in English in front of many people.Ever since i messed up in High School Orals,representing my school in the regionals.That "Boo-boo" you mentioned i heard that although people weren't exactly booing.I had an immense fear of speaking and at times it made me seem as though I am not Intelligent enough.It's only now that i have managed to overcome it and it feels amazing.

[@thandiwendwalaza7886]

I love seeing this side of you, it just feels so genuine and so relatable ❤️

I love your english, your afrikaans, and YOOOU!:) Great job all the years, Rolene 😍💓

[@BeautyNbliss]

♥️ truly appreciate your courage and genuineness to share everything. It would be of alot help if you could share how you overcame these problems. Specifically the weight gain problem, confidence , self belief and fear. Thanks again

[@denispeter7684]

Thank you Rolene for sharing. Its obvious that you had a good support system around you. Thats Good. That part where your University Don offered you a chance to pause your studies was amaizing. Keep the journey going. Iam loving the videos. Been following your journey since Miss World. Thank you. Xoxo Denis

[@rolenestrauss2506]

Denis Mamu Peter Thank you for your kind words and support Denis 🙏🏼

Rolene Strauss you are welcome 🙏🏿

[@onicavanderschyff2684]

I have always looked up to you, and I love the fact that you are being real and not trying to be perfect or someone you are not 💛 love your videos

[@Yammie]

The fact that you gave up wearing your curly ...own natural hair is shocking. I’m so sorry that you felt that you needed to alter your own natural beauty to fit into a “standard” I’m so glad how far it has come and seeing women embracing their natural hair. You have also come a long way as an individual as well...well done ✅

[@rolenestrauss3176]

Hey! Are you all ready? I am a tad anxious to be honest, sharing some very personal things. But here we go... (-:

[@amritaparihar2759]

Hey rolene! I am from india you are such an inspiration for every women ! This video is amazing can you also share with us what you give up for becoming miss South Africa , struggle you faced before you won?

[@johnbrown-um3lf]

I REALLY LIKED HOW YOU ADDRESSED YOUR FEAR OF PUBLIC SPEAKING WHICH HAS HAPPENED TO OUR LAST MISS JAMAICA, EMILY MADDISON, A YOUNG 18 YEAR OLD GIRL REPRESENTING JAMAICA AT THE RECENTLY CONCLUDED MISS UNIVERSE COMPETITION!!! I AM WANT THE PUBLIC WATCHING TO UNDERSTAND WHAT HAPPENS TO THE LADIES BEHIND THE SCENES IN THESE PAGEANTS AND THE ISSUES AFFECTING THEM AND TO REALISE THAT WHEN GIRLS FREEZE ON STAGE BECAUSE OF FEAR BECAUSE OF WHATEVER ISSUES HAPPENING IN THEIR MINDS SUCH AS NOT BEING COMFORTABLE WITH ENGLISH AS A SECOND LANGUAGE, THAT THIS DOESN'T MEAN, YOU AREN'T BRIGHT LADIES IN THE GRAND SCHEME OF THINGS IN YOUR PERSONAL LIVES !!!!

[@chantalbacco3945]

Best miss south africa ever

[@rijubhattarai4950]

Evem iam not much perfect in English 😢jst like u, i struggle in answering stage questions... I cant find enough words to express myself, while i have soo many things to say And my dream is to be the first miss world from my country Nepal 😢

[@lollymolise9815]

Rolene, I love you so much. I think you're such an inspiration. I follow you on every social media platform and I love how you are family oriented. You carry yourself so well. And for that I respect and love you dearly.

[@merilynsakachep1868]

You are the sweetest celebrity I have ever seen..you are truly an inspiration...thank you for sharing this vid.

[@unordinarilyblessedlife]

Thank you for sharing and telling us that not everything in life, regardless of how glamourous it seems, is moonlight and roses and that one can get through anything if you are determined, seeing this phase of life as a blessing, motivated and, of course, getting support from loved ones. It's an important lesson to learn in life that you can't give up. I look up to you, you are an inspiration! ❤

[@thembekx_]

Love her. You are beautiful, cute and so loving. We can feel your heart through this video.

[@reinettbernardo2779]

Ronele jou videos inspireer my so baie, dankie vir jou opregtheid en dat jy net JY is. Ek was absoluut mal oor Michelle Bruce met haar bos krulhare destyds as Mej S.A. en wat ook net haarself was. Ek het ook natuurlike krulhare en het op punt gekom so 10 jaar gelede dat ek nie meer my hare heeltyd wou droogblaas nie. Maar in tydskrifte maak hul mens uit as te lui as jy nie lyk of jy moeite doen nie, soos jy genoem het persepsies kan wees. Maar ek moes besluit tussen gebreekte punte of gesonder hare. Nou blaas ek net met geleentheid my hare uit. My engelse woorde haak ook maar soms vas as my brein nie vinnig genoeg die regte woorde uitkry nie, maar nou ja! Hou aan videos maak asb :) Groete van Kuilsrivier, Wes-Kaap (gebore Paarliet)

[@lotteringjoan]

Dankie Rolene, dat jy so eerlik is met ons. Ek het nie agtergekom dat jy gewig aangesit het daardie tyd nie. Jy lyk altyd stunning. Jy het charisma wat jy uitstraal. Dankie dat jy net jy is.

The Miss SA title comes with a lot of sacrifices💔 My heart bleeds for Sasha-Lee Olivier as she also experienced body shaming💔

[@mohiniaghor]

Really lovely to watch you on KZbin! I look up to you in lot of ways♥️ Hope to know more about how you prepared for miss world and what is miss world to you! Tips and tricks for aspirants please :)

[@scck6813]

Am I the only one that thinks she looks like Sissi L'imperatrice!?? You are gorgeous and very elegant Rolene!!

[@RinaHendriks]

Wow! Your English has improved SO much! Well done.

[@pottery68]

Sounds like the Miss SA organisation should buck up on their support to younger winners. I’m also disappointed to hear that you were expected to act all grown up. Our kids need to see that the Miss SA winner is human, can make language mistakes, put on weight, be silly etc. this perfect picture of a young woman is unrealistic, superficial and unrelated able. Well done for speaking your truth. I suspect this experience will be the stepping stones to a “Be Yourself” campaign one day.

[@zanischlebusch4124]

i always felt so ashamed to admit that i think in Zulu and translate it into English. what i have released is that it forces me to think hard about what i exactly want to say and end up now being able to comment instantly on the topic.

You‘re so awesome! Please do the same for Miss World!

[@tammynicholson5268]

I don''t understand why Afrikaans people should feel shy about talking English with an accent - at least we try, at least we know a second language.

[@tshegomabusela6608]

That's not an achievement black Africans speak many languages including Afrikaans and English. Don't feel shy about your accent but don't think it's an achievement to "try"

[@Boselfi]

@@tshegomabusela6608 She did not say it is an achievement. She only meant that there is no need to be shy.

[@tammynicholson5268]

Yes no one should feel shy about their accent if they speak a second language. Everyone is most comfortable in their mother tongue. No one said anything about achievements @Tshego Mabusela so don't know why you want to make this about something else. Good for you speaking several languages .
