A Zimbabwean by birth studying law in Australia has managed to put Zimbabwe on the modelling radar when she finished in the top 20 at the pageant held last month and saw models from 75 countries battling for the title.
Although the top gong went to María Clara Sosa Perdomoa, a Paraguayan model, being crowned Miss Grand Australia and becoming the first African-Australian to represent Australia on an international platform was Gundani’s most memorable moment.
Gundani said the passion to make an impact in people’s lives was her greatest motivation.
“The love for people and the desire to make a difference in people’s lives motivated me to join beauty pageantry,” she said.
“If I can make a difference to at least one child whose parents are deceased, I will be content.”
The beauty queen, who is an ambassador for Australia’s Ballarat African Association which works towards changing the negative stereotypes associated with being black and young, said she believed modelling was not just about beauty, but inspiring others and working for a charitable cause.
She said she was an ardent supporter of the Queen Elizabeth Children’s Home in Bulawayo.
Gundani was a state finalist for Miss World Australia in 2018 before winning the Miss Grand Australia in June 2018.
