Iman gives back to Africa with her top of the range cosmetics

As you might know, supermodel Iman is sponsoring African model scout competition M-Net Face of Africa, plus I have it on good sources that she might be coming to South Africa and even attend the actual show in Nigeria.

READ:

SOMALI-born international supermodel Iman says she wants to “give back to Africa” and has partnered with another supermodel, Nigerian-born Oluchi Onweagba, and M-Net to bring about the upcoming Face of Africa model search.

Arguably the world’s first black supermodel, Iman Mohamed Abdulmajid will supply the competition with her range of make-up, Iman Cosmetics.

“Now is the time for you, the next generation of beautiful, talented African women, to make your mark on the modelling industry and the world. Iman Cosmetics is proud to be associated with M-Net’s Face of Africa,” she said in a statement.

The winner will spend a day with Iman in New York, and Onweagba’s Cape Town-based O Model Africa agency will sponsor a modelling contract.

Megan Kruger, co-owner of O Model Africa, said there was a chance Iman would be in Africa for the finale.

M-Net Africa director Biola Alabi said: “ Iman i s an icon for African women. I’m delighted she has aligned her purpose with ours.”

The new series will appear on South African screens on October 31, and the finale takes place in Lagos, Nigeria, in February next year - The Times

It has been criticised and bashed for being a bad thing, but I say they are doing the right thing. If it means that people have to take off their clothes to tell people to stop abuse so be it.  Besides its done rather tastefullly and classy, nothing raunchy and has Learnado Da Vinci potraitic presence in it. Last years issue saw Gina Athens on the cover, inside it featured the four voluptuos singing DIVAS, poet Ntsiki Mazwai and designer of Loxion Culture Sechaba, it was all there. This year is different as it features Minki Visser (nee Van Der Westhizen) as the cover girl, hot soccer player Ryan Botha, beautiful MetroFM DJ, actor Clint Brink and his ex fiance actres Genevieve (Grace from Generations) and the "Smarter than a 5th Grader" presenter Soli Philander.  They bared it all for the name of "Celeb Couples against Domestic Violence".
