Lunch with Mr SA - Denver Burns & Baited shark dive!

Meet the man who has a passion for helping others - Mr SA, Denver Burns

This proud Port Elizabethan, attorney-at-law and self-proclaimed water baby is the youngest Mr. South Africa.

Being a Mr. South Africa requires someone who is not just a pretty face. Denver certainly is no exception.  He has been involved with numerous charities as well as community upliftment programmes over the past couple of years.
Denver also initiated a swim clinic to help underprivileged children learn how to swim.
“There is a special place in my heart for children and animals because they can’t help themselves and are dependent upon others for support and survival”.

Denver is also the Eastern Cape ambassador for the South African National Blood Service (SANBS) and encourages people to donate blood.“My aim is to get 1000 people to donate blood and thereafter, each of these must get two other people to donate blood as well, thus creating a ripple effect”.

He has been a part of the Eastern Province water polo men’s team since 2005 and started coaching one of the Eastern Province schools water polo teams since 2006. Denver is a former NSRI member and a qualified lifeguard who goes on voluntary patrols on Port Elizabeth’s beaches in his spare time.

The thing that Denver enjoys most about life is its unpredictability. “I love the challenges life poses and the new opportunities that are around every corner every day. It’s really exciting!”

Denver’s ultimate goal as a Mr. South Africa is to influence the youth of this great country. “Today, a lot of young people look up to celebrities who do not set a good example on how to live, especially morally. I want to change the mindset of what the youth thinks is cool and good by being a role model who sets a good example to them through my own life”.
