Chantal Witthuhn, 2012 Wineland Winter Queen (Lily category)

Chantal Witthuhn of Kleinmond was chosen as the Winelands Winter Queen 2012 in the Lily Category in Paarl, Western Cape, recently. 

Martin Van Niekerk Photography in Strand / Somerset West sponsored studio photoshoots worth R1 500 each for the two most photogenic Winelands Winter Queen finalists. Chantal was one of the winners and the other prize went to Marili Scharrighuisen.

This unique pageant is one of a number of competitions for different age groups and sexes, started by Rietha Kruger of Paarl. The Winelands Winter Queen competition is open to women between the age of 25 and 50 years, married or not, divorced or not, moms or not and who want to make a difference and help the less fortunate. The project emphasises community participation and finalist become actively involved in community projects.

And that is exactly what Chantal is about. She believes that one has to be what you were created to be and you can set the world on fire. 

"For me, life is an adventure that should be enjoyed and lived by all and because of this, it is my passion to help and assist people."

Chantal, a mother of three boys, is a fashion and image stylist and as the owner of La Femmetique she is involved in training people in the fields of modelling and  pageantry.
