The 39-year-old Kempton Park resident Hannes had this to say during his formal interview for the title:
I have a great passion for families, I grew up with an awesome dad, as a result I am able to be a good father to my own children. We are all mind, body and soul and I believe if we keep track of all three of those, we will have healthy families. I would love to use this platform to raise better men, to raise better dads and in doing so, create a better South Africa
Watch a clip of the announcement below:
It is unlikely that van der Walt will represent South Africa at an international pageant due the Covid-19 pandemic.
The competition started in 2019 with 95 candidates.
The list was eventually cut down to Top 30 then to Top 15 and in the end, only 10 finalists were selected to compete in the coronation ceremony.
It seems the twitter streets have been left less than impressed with the pageant candidates and the overall winner.
