5 Times we wanted to be Carol Bouwer

Can we all just stop and admit that Carol Bouwer is GOALS!?

The former presenter turned businesswoman and handbag designer is living her best life. From jetting off to luxury locales, sipping champagne in mid-air, and sporting the finest designer clothes, we’ve listed the five times that we wanted to swap places with Mzansi’s most fabulous lady boss.

The time she congratulated her horse for making a comeback at the VDJ

The time she casually did a humblebrag

Early last month, in a rather lengthy Instagram caption, Ms. Bouwer humbly pointed out that she is working with UNICEF to help South African women and children.

Blessed to know that in a small way, my work with UNICEF South Africa allows me to say I did not sit and watch but I together with the many men and women who care about this country will continue to do our bit for the children of South Africa. Thank you to the parliament of South Africa for the engagement today and importantly for the passion and leadership. Hervé Ludovic de Lys it has been an honour to serve under your leadership and today once again was a masterclass in humanitarianism. Thank you Mayke for being my bible. I can speak eloquently on these issues because you send me every piece of information from across the world! Gratitude 🙏🏽🙏🏽💙💙 kids we will fight for you❤️ #foreverychild #unicefsa #iwc4unicef

The time she walked into the room like the queen that she is!

Very few people can walk into a room and looked like they’ve got an invisible wind-machine attached to their back.

The time when she posed with her girl squad who also happen to be millionaires

Because when you’re a queen, you need to surround yourself with royalty!

When two people love each other dearly, they tend to surround themselves with the same energy they exude! Vika and Bonnke, you brought us all together in celebration of your love! Your anniversary feels like an exciting celebration of all of our marriages and we bless and honour you today! As Papa so articulately advised, be free of foxen! Let us continue to bless our kids and love one another in the most precious way! We adore you and celebrate your gorgeous baby girls💖💖💖 may you bless us with more as our learned friend @advnk so eloquently advised! Inkomu ❤️

The time she draped herself in fur because it was “freezing”

When it rains in Cape Town, most of us reach for our puffer jackets or Woolworths blankets. But not Carol; she sports a luxe fur coat when it’s “freezing”.

Freezing yes but look on the bright side Cape Town, we do need the rain ☔️ ☔️ Happy Thursday Everyone❤️💚
