Ordinary man doing extraordinary things

A global citizen with his feet firmly planted in South Africa, Mr SA 2011 finalist Mishal Mookrey strives to live a balanced life

"I relish the opportunity to help those who are not as fortunate to live their best life," Mookrey says.

The well-travelled Capetonian regards himself as an ordinary man doing extraordinary things. He cherishes the privilege of being a Mr South Africa 2011 Top 12 finalist and the responsibilities that lie ahead should be win the title.

The energetic Mookrey, who has a demanding work schedule, has entered the Mr SA 2011 contest as a personal challenge.

"It has always been my goal to enter a competition of this magnitude. To have come this far is testimony to my personal growth," Mookrey says.

He says hosting his own show on Cape TV for the past two seasons has prepared him well for the future.

Mookrey feels very strongly about teenage pregnancy and school yard bullying.

"I would like to create a dialogue around these and many other pertinent issues facing the youth," he says.

He says winning the Mr South Africa title would give him the perfect platform to pursue these issues. Mookrey has completed his motion picture production degree as well as business management course.

He brags about about his cooking and says nothing beats running on the beach.
