Hailing from Durban, South Africa, Candice never planned for a modeling career. Upon the insistence of her friends, Candice participated in her school\u2019s annual pageant and, to her surprise, won. The prize included a portfolio with a photographer. The photographer then submitted Candice\u2019s pictures to a Durban-based modeling agency and thus, Candice caught the public&#8217;s eye.<\/p>\n<p>She relocated to Cape Town where she worked with big names like GQ, Cosmopolitan, South Africa Sports Illustrated, Elle, Triumph, Fila and Speedo. Today, this Durban beauty is one of the most recognized faces in South Africa&#8217;s fashion industry. Along with her stunning beauty, her modesty shines through. When asked to comment on whether beauty was seen as an accomplishment, she responded:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>&#8220;It\u2019s not an accomplishment. It\u2019s God given and should never be taken seriously. If you\u2019re blessed with good looks then good for you. The benefits of it, the travel and experience\u2026 it\u2019s an honour, but not an accomplishment at all.&#8221;\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Adiree | A.S<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; World, meet Candice Boucher.
