Nomzamo Mbatha to host Miss SA 2020 finale

The crowning of Miss South Africa 2020 is fast approaching and organisers have announced who will host this dazzling pageant.

Media personality, actress and humanitarian Nomzamo Mbatha will for the first time host Miss SA which is set to take place in Cape Town, at The Table Bay Hotel on 24 October.

In a statement released on Tuesday, the Coming to America 2 actress said she has been a huge fan of Miss SA and the hosting gig is a dream come true.

“What the pageant has done in being a reflection of beauty, depth and power, not only for South African women but women all over the world, is something I truly admire,” she said.

The top 10 was announced in August and Nomzamo’s advice to finalists is that they should set their intentions and be their true selves.
