After an illustrious tenure with Miss South Africa, Werner Wessels takes on a new challenge as Brand Development Consultant for Miss Supranational, promising to inspire and uplift through his work.
The announcement came directly from Gerhard Parzutka von Lipsinski, the president of Miss Supranational, who expressed enthusiasm about Wessels' arrival in a heartfelt message on social media.
“I am excited to welcome Werner to our team. He comes with a wealth of experience and as much passion for this industry as we have, so it's a very natural fit for him to join the Miss and Mister Supranational family. I can't wait for us to achieve great things together,” said Parzutka von Lipsinski.
Wessels, whose career has intertwined with the fabric of South Africa’s beauty narrative, responded with equal fervour, sharing his gratitude and commitment to the values of Miss Supranational.
“I am so proud and deeply humbled to be joining the Miss Supranational family, embracing the incredible vision set out by this organisation to inspire, unite, and uplift. I look forward to building on this vision along with the Miss Supranational organisation and continuing the legacy of aspirational and inspirational leaders across the globe,” Wessels commented.
This new chapter follows Wessels’ recent resignation from Miss South Africa, a role he held with pride and passion.
Reflecting on his time there, he recalled watching the iconic Jacqui Mofokeng crowned as Miss South Africa in 1993 from the comfort of his home, a moment that sparked his lifelong passion for the industry.
“Today, I share with a grateful heart that I have officially resigned as Creative Director of Miss South Africa. This journey has been a dream come true — a journey filled with purpose, passion, and pride. I’m immensely proud of the work we have done and the impact I’ve made and will forever be grateful to the Miss South Africa Organisation for entrusting me with the responsibility that comes with this role, I created.”
He concluded his farewell by expressing heartfelt gratitude to the remarkable women he had the privilege to work alongside.
“To all the phenomenal women who have trusted me to guide and support them, a simple thank you would not suffice. Your grace, strength, and resilience have inspired me beyond words. I am so honoured to have stood alongside you,” he commented.
