According to the Miss South Africa website, the organisation is a leadership platform for ambitious young South African women. The Miss SA pageant is a national beauty pageant that selects representatives to compete in international beauty pageants.

This year the finalists’ journey was a little journey. The Top 12 finalists competed for seven spots on a reality show titled Crown Chasers. So, five of the Top 12 were eliminated from the pageant.

The top seven finalists who are competing to be the next Miss SA title are:

Anke Rothmann
Bryoni Govender
Homba Mazaleni
Jordan van der Vyver
Melissa Nayimuli
Nande Mabala
Natasha Joubert
The finale is set to be hosted by media personality Bonang Matheba. One of the judges will be actress Thuso Mbedu.
