Pretoria, 1 April 2026 - Nicolle is a passionate friend and dedicated supporter of Unchain Our Children (UOC), a South African non-profit organization committed to preventing, combating, and addressing child exploitation, human trafficking, gender-based violence, and abuse against women and children.
Guided by a profound sense of purpose, Nicolle found her true calling in the powerful words of Luke 4:18: “The Spirit of the LORD is upon Me, Because He has anointed Me To preach the gospel to the poor; He has sent Me to heal the broken-hearted, To proclaim liberty to the captives And recovery of sight to the blind, To set at liberty those who are oppressed.”
This scripture deeply resonates with her commitment to UOC. It fuels her drive to bring hope, healing, and freedom to the vulnerable, mirroring the organization’s mission to liberate those trapped in cycles of abuse and exploitation.
Her former military- and close protection training has further equipped and prompted her to become a highly suitable and effective UOC Battle Angel and team player for UOC, combining discipline, protection skills, and a readiness to serve in demanding situations.
With remarkable poise, Nicolle embodies a powerful balance of femininity and inner strength. This harmonious blend shone brightly when she modelled for New Romantics Couture during South African Fashion Week 2026, celebrating elegance, confidence, and the beauty of empowered womanhood on the runway.
As an advocate and ambassador for UOC, Nicolle actively leverages her extensive network to raise awareness about the wellbeing and protection of women and children. She serves as a shining role model and mentor to many, distinguishing herself time and again as an invaluable operative whose contributions carry real weight. Whether striding confidently in couture garments, or walking alongside victims and survivors of abuse and human rights violations, Nicolle brings compassion and action in equal measure.
Nicolle’s message to survivors & victims of abuse and exploitation: “To all the special girls, boys, ladies and people out there. Reading this means you have already overcome the darkest time of your life. You are worthy of love, respect, and happiness. You are uniquely and wonderfully made — never let anyone tell you otherwise. There are people praying for you and looking out for you, even when the road feels impossible. Never give up hope on yourself, on life, or on your future, because we see you. I will be the voice for those who cannot speak, and we will continue to do so. My heart goes out to each and every one of you. With love, Nicolle.”
Her radiant presence outshines even the brightest camera flashes. In the same way, her genuine light kindles hope in the hearts of abused women and children who often feel isolated and unseen. As an accomplished horse rider, she brings the same focus, balance, and determination that define her equestrian passion into her humanitarian efforts.
Unchain Our Children has the remarkable ability to gather around it individuals of excellent character — people who willingly team up with the organization, generously contributing their unique skills, talents, and precious time as volunteers. Nicolle exemplifies this spirit of selfless partnership, using her platform and energy to amplify UOC’s vital mission.
“We are most fortunate to have Nicolle as one of our star operatives and her capacity to care is unmatched,” Wayne van Onselen, Founder and Executive Director of Unchain Our Children.
In a world that urgently needs more voices for the vulnerable, Nicolle stands out as both a beacon of glamour and a steadfast champion of justice. Her worlds of accomplished horse riding, fashion modelling, and humanitarian advocacy — all anchored in her biblical calling and strengthened by her military and close protection background — beautifully illustrate how personal passion and public purpose can unite for meaningful change.
