Do you have what it takes to succeed former Miss Universe titleholders Zozibini Tunzi and Demi-Leigh Nel-Peters and the current Miss South Africa Shudufhadzo Musida?
South Africa (27 May 2021) – The search has begun for the hopefuls who will follow in the footsteps of current Miss South Africa Shudufhadzo Musida, who will represent her country on the global stage and become one of South Africa’s most prominent ambassadors and influencers.
With the phenomenal growth and impact of the Miss South Africa brand, and huge interest surrounding the pageant following Zozibini Tunzi’s global triumph as the longest-reigning queen in the history of the Miss Universe pageant, thousands of entries are expected from young women from across the nation.
Entries open for Miss South Africa 2021 on Monday, May 24, at 17:00 and will close on June 24 at midnight.
The Miss South Africa pageant will be held in October this year when current incumbent Shudufhadzo Musida will hand over her crown to her successor.
Miss South Africa 2021 will have the chance to represent her country and compete on the global stage.
