1. Who is Linique? An aspirant lawyer, entrepreneur and problem solver.

2. What do you love about yourself? My ability to be persistent, my perseverance and my ability to be in control of my emotions in any and all circumstances. When I’ve decided I want something I go for it impulsively. I work hard for what I want, and I associate myself with likeminded people. And if you are weak, I’m sorry...don't involve me. Otherwise I think I have a great sense of humour...my friends won't necessarily agree.

3. What do you think made you win that day? My leadership qualities. My goal wasn’t to enter to win but to gain experience to be able to give solid feedback to models I am grooming, but I won the title without necessarily wanting it. I guess you just have to lead by example and your strengths and good qualities will be noticed accordingly. 4. How did you build your confidence? I didn’t have to work on my confidence because my aim was never to win, I went there as myself, I did not try to be anything I'm not. What you see is what you get.

5. What did you win? I won a lot of beauty vouchers, fitness vouchers, photography vouchers valid for a year... as well as cosmetic products, like make up and skin care products, photo frames, diaries and stationery, coffee mugs and of course my sash and crown to keep.

6. Would you enter the same competition again this year if given the opportunity? Well no, I would aim for something higher. If I could win this one without any effort, I can only imagine what I can do with preparation...even though there are Many talented beautiful females out here...it won't be easy.

7. Did you enter any other pageants after winning and how did you do? No I have been busy with my studies, working and starting my own business...I kind of don't get time for that anymore.

8. If you could give advice to someone who want to join a beauty pageant and win, what would you tell them? Don't portray a picture you won't be able to maintain. Pageants. Are not just about beauty, it's about serving the community and making things better , create awareness want educate the uneducated using the platform you are given. It's not always about modelling and taking pictures the title comes with responsibility, so approach the competition. With that mindset and you will win.

9. What makes a model? Knowing yourself and your talents, your weaknesses and strength...using them to advertise or promote a message to the public. It's not about fame ...you need to be competitive to be successful...it's no industry for the weak.
