WHEN three-year-old Werner Wessels watched pageants with his family, he bolted from the room when it was time to crown the winner.
“I just couldn’t handle the noise when the winner was announced,” he said over a video conversation earlier this week.
“And this still happens, but now it’s during the Q&A section of the pageants.
“I have to wear my earpods because I can’t deal with the anxiety it brings.”
Wessels is the man who has injected new life into Miss SA and made it an international pageant powerhouse.
He has had a direct hand in producing a Miss World, two Miss Universes and also a Miss Universe runner-up.
