When the moment of truth arrived, Koketso was announced as the Mzansi’s Sexiest Woman while Angelo Collins, took the male equivalent.
We spoke to Angelo who told us a little more of how he felt when he was announced as the winner of Mzansi’s Sexiest. This is what he had to say:
I feel very humbled in a lot of ways. I know that South Africa has come a long way and this competition just shows that South Africans always believe in what they are doing. To be honest, I didn’t expect win, and it’s hard to believe that I have!I was very surprised to even be nominated; I’m just a guy who grew up eKasi (township). I am 37 years of age I just keep gyming and keeping myself fit and I guess it pays off.
Angelo also took the time to pay tribute to the late former president, Nelson Mandela.
I would also like to thank Madiba for all the good work that he did. I mean, I am Angelo today because of him, I’m able to do what I do because of him and I am proudly South African. I would like to say thank you to uTata and may his soul rest in peace.
Before leaving, we caught up with another of the nominees, Jessica Nkosi. On the feeling of being nominated, she said:
To be honest I was very surprised because we all know that South Africa has a lot of beautiful women. I am very honoured to be in the top 12 of Mzansi’s Sexiest. I just hope any women out there can realise that they need to be who they are and that we are all different; just believe in what you do.
