“Modelling has given me a platform to acknowledge my beauty, knowledge and skills in front of the nation. The only challenge is that there are not as many modelling pageants and modelling agencies in Masvingo that can uplift the girl child,” she said.
“Modelling is not all about looks only. It is a grooming where young women gain the courage and introduce different approachies in tackling social issues and problems, hence you must really be committed if you choose modelling as a career.”
It was always Mubatas’ dream to become a model.
“I have always wanted to be a model ever since l was young and it has become a dream come true. I chose modelling because l wanted to develop and boost my self-esteem and the memories made through modelling are beyond measure,” she said.
