Miss SA to announce top 30 finalists, adjusts entry rules

Miss South Africa pageant’s top 30 finalists will be announced live on Wednesday at 7pm, on the Miss South Africa app. 

Last year, the pageant made drastic changes to this year’s rules regarding entrance requirements for those wishing to enter for the pageant.

Previously, married women with children were not allowed to compete for the coveted title, but this year the pageant has pushed boundaries and allow such women to compete. However,  Miss South Africa Organisation CEO Stephanie Weil said this year they have pushed more boundaries than ever before.

“We are delighted to welcome all women who are ready to step onto our leadership platform and be the next ambassador for South Africa.

“We, as women, are so many things. We can be business owners, leaders, innovators, influencers, mothers, daughters, philanthropists, role models, ambassadors and queens all at the same time. Showcasing the multi-diverse nature of all of this will be at the core of the competition. Miss South Africa is no longer just a one-night pageant – viewers are really going to get to know the finalists during the television show,” added Weil.
