THE 3-year old Tiaan Trosee from Despatch was crowned as Mini Mr South Africa 2018.
He was representing the Eastern Cape in Pretoria at Pageants SA 2018. He was also crowned as Mini Face of South Africa 2018.
Tiaan joined Star Models in Despatch exactly a year ago and since then has been the winner of 20 sashes.
“Tiaan will be doing lots of charity work in Despatch area, so please keep your eyes and ears open to help this young boy to help others,” said his mother, Yolandie Trosee.
He is the only child of Yolandie and Christiaan Trosee.
His first charity event will be tomorrow, on Freedom Day, where he will be handing out soup and bread to the hungry in Despatch.
“Tiaan steals hearts wherever he goes. It is that cunning smile of his and his naughty eyes. Everybody loves him. He is a very friendly boy and loves animals, especially his little dog Peanut,” said Yolandie.
The Trosee family wish to thank each and everyone who sponsored and helped Tiaan.
“Thank you also to the LiOns Club for assisting with Tiaan’s flight return ticket, to Cloe Gair from Lari-Lu Perfume for Tiaan’s banner and to Riaan Trosee from Apple Tree Photography for the beautiful winning photo of Mini Face of South Africa 2018,” said Yolandie.
