'In life, you have to be criticised to be successful. I'm not bothered about the negativity.' We talk to MrSAofficial candidate Pinkie Salman
Pinkie's role models are two former politicians Nelson Mandela and Thabo Mbeki. About Madiba, he says:"We have to live his legacy, one which is still burning in our hearts. A legacy that brings people together, and a spirit not routed in revenge." Pinkie is inspired in his day-to-day life by former Mr South Africa winner Michael Mol, who he says"carries himself well, and looks after people." - qualities he too hopes to emulate himself.
About the recent social media backlash about the pageant he says:"In life, you have to be criticised to be successful. I'm not bothered about the negativity. I am so positive and focussed. I urge the public to welcome us; we have worked so hard." Pinkie, who is not married, says he has a beautiful support system at home, especially from his mother and siblings. He adds that he will never be able to thank his colleagues enough for their continued love and support. 2019-04-29 15:03 Cape Town - Mr Gay World will once again be hosted on African soil for the 4th time in the organisation's 11 year history.
