The Miss Grand South Africa 2026 titleholder brought plenty of energy and Mzansi flair to her international talent performance.

Thailand (27 September 2026) – Estèe-Mari Smit is showing the world that South Africa has some serious moves.

The Miss Grand South Africa 2026 titleholder recently took to the Miss Grand International stage with a vibrant dance performance that had plenty of South African flavour, and she did it while proudly carrying the country’s flag.

Estèe-Mari was crowned Miss Grand South Africa in June and is representing South Africa at Miss Grand International 2026.

The performance opens with the instantly recognisable “Nants ingonyama…” from The Lion King, before Estèe-Mari launches into a high-energy routine that blends performance, personality and South African pride.

Little Dress Factory, which celebrated Estèe-Mari’s appearance, shared footage of the performance alongside a glowing message praising her talent and execution.

“Our beautiful Estee rocked the stage 𝗠𝗶𝘀𝘀 𝗚𝗿𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 Talent. Absolutely stunning and well executed. Our girl CAN dance.”
