NAOMI CAMBELL IS WELKOM

BRITISH-BORN supermodel Naomi Campbell jetted into South Africa this week to attend the official launch on Thursday of the new logo and name for the World Motorcycle Grand Prix, Phakisa raceway organisers said. She attended a lunch at the Phakisa hospitality suites tower at Welkom’s Phakisa Freeway with about 400 other invited guests. The first Motorcycle Grand Prix of the championship starts at the Phakisa Freeway during the Gauloise Africa’s Grand Prix between 17 and 20 March. Campbell gained fame after becoming the first black model to appear on the covers of Time Magazine and the French and British editions of Vogue.
