Cape champions

Robyn Botes

I am Robyn Botes, a passionate educator at a farm school, where I daily help form the future by inspiring young leaders. Apart from education, I also serve at judge at modelling competitions, where I help encourage talent and self-confidence.  

As guest speaker I gladly share my experiences and stories to motivate and encourage others to chase their dreams. I have also worked on advertising campaigns for international brands like Lensmart and Temu, where I can creatively use my unique voice and style.  

My work mirrors my love for people, of creativity and building opportunities – in the classroom, on stage and in the media world.
