The five who will welcome our newest African queen to an exclusive sisterhood are Bokang Montjane-Tshabalala (Miss South Africa 2010), Rolene Strauss (Miss South Africa & Miss World 2014), Liesl Laurie (Miss South Africa 2015), Ntando Kunene-Mthethwa (Miss South Africa 2016) and current Miss South Africa Tamaryn Green.
“Miss South Africa is the ultimate movement towards women empowerment. The platform creates opportunities for so many; from finalists to Miss South Africas and ultimately international participants. The growth I experienced as Miss South Africa did not only lead to the wonderful honour of winning Miss World, but it also assisted me in surviving medical school when I went back to studying once my reign was over. This is a once-in-a-lifetime learning and life changing opportunity,” said Strauss.
The last word to current Miss South Africa Tamaryn Green, “This platform has empowered me, not only as a young South African wanting to make a difference in her community, but as a medical student and also as a woman. It’s not lost on me that a new Miss South Africa will be crowned on Women’s Day. Miss South Africa has been an integral part of the female South African story and how we as women are taking our place in society and championing the causes of our fellow women and the generations to follow us. I personally cannot wait to welcome a new woman into this illustrious sisterhood.”
The 2019 Miss South Africa pageant will be held at Sun International’s flagship venue, the Sun Arena at Times Square, Pretoria, and will be aired live on both M-Net and Mzanzi Magic.
