Go-getter Beautiful. Optimistic. The ultimate go-getter. Twenty-seven-year-old Schané Venter with that Julia Roberts smile has gone from being a shy little girl to a talented part-time model and operations and logistics manager. ost recently the Alberton beauty, Schané was announced as the 11th winner of the Sarie Cover Face competition. Schané first entered the competition in 2015, but this year she really stood out with judges choosing her out of thousands who entered countrywide to make the final ten. Her life motto “to always try once more” led to her entering a second time and walking away with the coveted October cover. Why did you decide to enter the competition? I’ve known of Sarie magazine since I was a little girl. For me there has always been a certain grace, elegance and aspirational connection linked to the magazine. With it being the 70th birthday of Sarie they reached the epitome of hope and inspiration. Because I have entered previously it did not even cross my mind to enter. When a very special friend of mine asked me if he may enter me into the competition again, I decided to give it another go. He literally submitted my entry a few hours before the deadline. I am so grateful that he believed in me enough to want to enter me. Because of his confidence, I have been granted this privilege and opportunity. Has it always been your dream to be in the modelling industry? To be completely honest, I was a very shy child. I can still remember it like it was yesterday. Every year when it was time for our pre-primary annual concerts I would cry from the moment they put me on stage until my mom or dad fetched me. For some reason I had this huge fright for getting on a stage. I think my parents knew they needed to make an attempt to help me overcome my stage fright. They enrolled me into a modelling school with the aim to learn selfconfidence and to be able to have the courage to stand up in front of people. It was the best decision ever as I started developing a real interest in the modelling industry. I competed in the in-house modelling competitions and then also started entering bigger pageants. I was privileged enough to be a finalist for Miss SA Teen 2007, Miss Legs 2007 and few other competitions. The one I am most proud of is being a Top eight Miss SA 2016 finalist. I have also always enjoyed being in front of the camera. My sister and fiancé, Marion always make fun of me. They say when there is a camera pointed at me I always say “No, don’t take pictures.”, but saying that with a full pose and smile ready to take that picture. So yes, the modelling industry has always been appealing to me and I love playing model on the side. What I also love about the modelling industry currently is models are not pretty faces anymore, they have become some of the world’s most influential individuals and activists using this platform to inspire change and to speak up for causes they believe in. What is your ultimate dream – personal and business? My dream is to live a purposeful life and to touch lives in every part of my life journey. I dream of having a happy marriage and family one day. On the business side I would like to one day start an online clothing store selling clothes I have designed. Another dream is to travel more frequently and explore the world with my fiancé. The idea would be to have a blog which will showcase affordable fashion and style trends from all over the world and share it to my Instagram page. What is your favourite hobby? I love, love, love shopping and visiting different local markets. I am a sucker for a sale and will always find a reason to make that purchase. I love wearing beautiful clothes and showcasing my own style. I have to admit I have a shoe obsession. Tell us about the love in your life and the role he plays? I am engaged to my best friend. We have been engaged for a year and are getting married next year May. Marion is my biggest supporter and he always has my best interests at heart. He is the one person I want to spend all my time with and the one person I want to share everything with. What I appreciate most about him is he supports all of my dreams. He will never hold me back, in fact, he encourages me to be brave. If you can have one super power, what would it be? I would love to have the ability to be at more places at once. To duplicate myself if and when I have to. What is the key to success? The key to ultimate success is to find your passion and to know where you make the biggest impact in life. Work hard to invest in your passion. Only then you can live a fulfilled life. Success will automatically follow after that. 14 Get It Joburg South November 2019 GIS1108_014_494121124.indd 14 2019/10/17 02:57:44 PM
