I am Nirelda, the 2014 Top Model South Africa Winner and 2014 Top Model Worldwide Winner.

I began my modelling career as a student at the University of Pretoria the year before I entered Top Model South Africa. My modelling career became significantly busier after winning Top Model South Africa, after which I was signed with Boss Models Johannesburg and Full Circle Cape Town.

I represented South Africa at the Top Model Worldwide event in London where I was awarded the Overall Worldwide Winner title and also the Body and Models Choice titles. During the London Worldwide event I was honoured to be invited back later in the year to walk in the London Fashion Week for various International designers. It turned out to be a crazy week with incredibly long hours and tight schedules, but every moment was filled with wonderful memories I will never forget.

This international exposure opened up multiple new avenues for my modelling career which includes being featured in television commercials, runway work, music videos and editorial work with large corporate brands such as Unilever (Magnum M Collection campaign with renowned designer Gert Johan Coetzee), Soviet Jeans, Edgars, Coca Cola, Maxim Magazine and many more.

Having modelled for various campaigns in Johannesburg, Cape Town and Europe whilst building lifelong relationships with key personalities in the fashion industry, I can truly say that I have thoroughly enjoyed my modelling career and all the opportunities it created.

I have moved into a different stage in my life now where I don’t actively model anymore unless requested, focusing on my career in the commercial construction industry, my marriage and my two beautiful children.

I am glad that my role as a mentor at Opulent Models South Africa allows me the opportunity to be an active part of the fashion industry and to share my experiences and knowledge that I have gained with the next generation of models that will definitely continue to uphold South Africa’s incredibly strong reputation on the international modelling scene
