Many possibilities for GMA models

Read: 5001

A local modelling agency, Glamour Modelling Agency (GMA), is optimistic about the possibilities for the coming year. This agency, which was started 10 months ago, has already recruited 20 models, some of whom managed to performed very well at beauty pageants.

The agency's founder, Mr Lawrence ‘Lolo’ Lulama, said some of the agency’s models had won various accolades, including Ms Hazel Siwadawada, who was crowned first princess during the Miss Makhado beauty pageant which was held last year in December.

The GMA was initially launched with the aim of keeping young people away from alcohol and substance abuse as well as to try and prevent teenage pregnancies. “All young boys and girls who desire to explore the world of modelling are welcome to join,” said Mr Lulama. “I believe that if you do what you love, the rest will follow,” he added.

The agency faces several challenges, such as finding a decent place for training and workshops. Thus far, they have been using Makhado Comprehensive School's premises for training. They are also spending money on photographers for photo-shoot rehearsals. “We are seeking sponsorships. If we can find our own place and a professional camera, it will be easy for us to develop the young people in the region,” he said.

Next Saturday (January 31) some of this agency's models will be in Polokwane, auditioning for a fashion show.

Mr Lulama can be contacted at 072 854 5106 or through the Facebook page: Glamour modelling agency and Event management.

The 17-year-old Thembi Tlou has just joined the agency and believes that it will take her far.
