Miss SA 2020 runner-up Natasha Joubert tries her luck again

Model and entrepreneur Natasha Joubert has entered the Miss SA competition again this year. Natasha became Miss SA 2020 runner-up and went to represent South Africa at the Miss Universe competitions in 2021.

Taking to Instagram a few days ago, Natasha posted her entry video and thanked everyone for the support.

“A journey I knew I wanted to continue… I’m so thankful that I get to do it as a woman who has had deeper conversations with herself, accepted challenges and never let the outcome determine her self-worth. Gratitude doesn’t come close to explaining how excited I am to take on this new chapter,” she wrote.

In her entry video, the 25-year-old model said her Miss SA journey has been challenging but amazing. She said she has gone through a lot of growth and has been afforded incredible opportunities along the way.

“Standing here, re-entering Miss South Africa, is such a big testimony, This is no longer about fulfilling a dream of a little girl that wanted to be Miss SA, but standing here, living my purpose and sharing my life experiences,” she added.
