Mrs South Africa crowning event this weekend

Fikile made history when she was crowned in 2012 as she is the first black woman to win this prestigious pageant.

Fikile has a heart for the people of South Africa and has used her influence within local and national government in order to facilitate change. She is an inspirational speaker and motivator, and acts as a mentor to young ladies wanting to better themselves and the world around them. Fikile will be representing South Africa at Mrs Globe pageant taking place in China in late October.

However, the night will star a number of idyllic elements as the new Mrs South will be crowned at the Theatre of Marcellus.

With 22 gorgeous finalists from all over South Africa, the judges, who include the elegant former Miss South Africa Melinda Bam (principle judge), Marelize Steyn Earle (former Mrs South Africa) and Andrew Govender (Mr South Africa 2012) have their work cut out for them, as this group of beauties are dynamic women who are juggling motherhood, careers and successful marriages – as well as managing to boast beauty queen looks.

Says Joani Johnson, Mrs SA Pageant director: “Since taking over the directorship of the pageant in 2011, the pageant organisation has been committed to driving new energy into the Mrs South Africa pageant.

“Our focus is on positioning the pageant as distinctive in South Africa and to the women who live in our beautiful country, in that this pageant is unmistakeably different to the beauty pageant norm.”

She adds that this is important, as Mrs South Africa is unique – in most beauty pageants, the finalists are young single women who have aspirations, hopes and dreams, whereas the Mrs South Africa entrants are successful, married women who have already achieved many of their goals and are driven to help others in their communities who are less fortunate.”
