The Honourable minister said he was proud of Kimberley and her achievements. He reminded that, whatever her achievements she must never forget her studies and encouraged her to study hard and also when going around emphasise on the importance of education to her peers especially early childhood where she also discovered her talent.
Hon Minister further advised her to believe in herself, be her own person and never put herself under pressure nor allow anyone to do so.
For her part Kimberly said she started her journey a tender age of 5years and is inspired by Katlego Matheakgomo. She further added that to balance her school work with her modelling passion she goes for back to back tutoring. Her motto is “do not let anyone decide your future for you, anything is possible”.
