Rolene is the daughter of a doctor and a nurse. She’s 22 years old and a fourth-year medical student, but put her studies on hold to compete. Interestingly, her childhood dreams were to become Miss South Africa, Miss World and study medicine – apparently all her dreams and goals are coming true! This is South Africa’s third woman to carry the Miss World title.
