ABOUT

South Africa’s top comedy ventriloquist and Multi-Awards Winning Stand-up Comedian Conrad Koch shares the stage with Multi Awards Winning Stand-up comedian Kagiso KG Mokgadi. In aid of Down syndrome and intellectually challenged individuals.


The registered NPO Shumeez Scott Foundation (SSF) main focus is on individuals with Down syndrome and those with similar intellectual disabilities. We motivate and help them to become self-sustaining and aim to provide opportunities for work empowerment.


The Shumeez Scott Foundation was founded by Miss Shumeez Scott, who at a young age seemed determined to make a difference in her own life and in the lives of others. Through her dream of becoming a Top Model and opening her very own Modeling, Training and Lifestyle Centre for all persons living with Down syndrome, autism and those of similar special needs. 

 

Being Down syndrome herself, Shumeez would not let that stand in the way of achieving her dream. She works tirelessly to break the stigma, with her life’s motto (and now the foundation’s motto) being: “If you can dream it, you can do it”.

 

Shumeez certainly has achieved so much despite her challenges. She is the current crown holder of the Miss MWI Phenomenal INTERNATIONAL 2019/2020 title. She has made numerous television appearances, radio interviews and magazine photo shoots.


Through all her media exposure, she has empowered and uplifted every member of the foundation. Many members have realized their own dreams and have made camera appearances in popular television shows alongside her. This is just some of the work that we do!


Lets Move to the event!
