Nicole Capper
Nicole Capper is a Survivor SA S7 castaway, Luxuria Lifestyle SA CEO and Editor-in-chief, and Mrs South Africa 2018. This mom of two has a background as a functional medicine pharmacist, and is also a model, presenter, and ambassador for Rare Diseases SA. Her Survivor SA adventure came about as a result of her realising goals she never imagined she had the courage to achieve. At six weeks old her daughter was diagnosed with a life-limiting rare disease, Cystic Fibrosis. This was a major catalyst for change in her life, and led her to enter and subsequently win the Mrs South Africa competition. As an advocate for women’s rights, Nicole believes she had a choice: to allow a disease to steal her purpose, using it as an excuse for complacency; or to consciously go after her dreams despite it, and in so doing, show her children that nothing can hold them back from achieving their goals. Nicole lives to celebrate freedom, authenticity and collaboration. “No great success is ever achieved alone”.
