Here is the bio that was written by Beukes. 

Successful, vibrant, independent, witty, foodie, mom, actor/presenter.

If any of this sounds intimidating, 'jammer maatjie, ons is nie ‘n match nie'. I’m not arm candy for your ego. I'm an accomplished adult human with my own ambitions and opinions, looking to be challenged and looking to grow. Want to grow with me?

Please don’t say hi. Tell me what moves you, what you’re prepared to fight for, your hardest moment, your wildest dream, and what your mask policy is.

Do you think Philicity will find love this year?
