CHRISTINA DEVRAJ ON DISAGREEMENT WITH LENORE

On an episode of The Mommy Club: Sugar and Spice, Lenore Goss-Matjie pulled Christina Devraj aside tp talk to her about her comments of race during her event. Lenore revealed that she had won Miss India KZN, and Christina commented that it was brave of her to enter.

Christina has since said that she was happy to know there was another person of colour, that wasn’t Indian on the show. She went on to explain that she asked Lenore if she had to work harder than the other contestants because she was not Indian.

“When I met Lenore, I was happy to know there was a person of colour on the show that isn’t Indian because every cast member is Indian and I was happy that she would bring so much more history and diversity to the show, which would be a reflection of KwaZulu-Natal,” she said according to Showmax.

“When she invited me to her event, I accepted and as she spoke about being in Miss India SA, I commended her and asked her if, at the time, she had to work harder than the other contestants to prove that she deserved a seat at that table as I’m sure the Indian contestants would have had an advantage to win,” she continued.

CHRISTINA ON ‘SENSITIVE CONVERSATION’

Christina went on to say that she had asked those questions because she wanted to educate others who may want to enter pageants.

“Our disagreement came when she positioned us in a separate lounge in front of the cameras to have this sensitive conversation and went off topic to discuss her personal opinion of who I am. The question I asked her was not to make her feel attacked in any way. I hoped she would educate those who want to enter Miss SA India or go for their dreams regardless of stereotypes or limitations like skin colour,” she added.
