She is one of the best youngest Durban girls who is making waves in the modelling industry. To her, being a model means to be an ambassador, effective leader and a good positive role model for those who look up to her. As an outstanding model, she vividly understands that modelling does not only happen on limelights when the cameraman and stage lights get into action. There is more to it.
A finalist of Miss Inspire SA Junior 2025, philanthropist, Lusanda Mabasa is a 10 year old girl who is currently doing grade 6 at Resmount Primary School. She is a seasoned and professional model who was groomed and mentored at Expressers Modelling Agency. Besides being a model, she is a gifted dancer and singer.
She firmly believes that God did not call her to be a celebrity but to help others who are in need and to mentor many kids on how to discover their gifts and talents that are hidden inside of them. All successful people have a common denominator, they focus on strength rather than on their weakness.
Moreover, she started working with numerous organisations at a tender age as a volunteer. Her passion led Lusanda to spend her spare time to both children and elderly orphanage homes. She usually donates sanitary towels, clothes, toys and clothes.
What are the qualities that make you stand out?
Be original, be yourself and be real. You never know who you are going to impress by just being you. Stop trying so hard to be someone else. The world wants to see your own uniqueness and creativity. The world is ready to celebrate you for doing that.
What is your favourite quote?
Life is a journey and celebrate it in style.
What words do you say to the upcoming models?
You do not have to be a Millionaire to make an impact in your generation. You already have what it takes to be a game changer. Believe in yourself, take action and be persistent in whatever you will be doing; you will be amazed how things will come together.
