They will be joined by Anneline Kriel – Miss World in 1974 – and Bloemfontein designer Casper Bosman, who designed two of the gowns worn by Rolene Strauss when she took the Miss World title in London last year.
Regarded as leaders and trend-setters in their respective fields, they will be judging the top 12 contestants on an array of criteria, including their leadership qualities, communication skills, beauty and talent, physical fitness and a dedication to community service.

Presented by Proverb, performers at the glittering show include Gangs of Ballet, Beatenberg and Sterling EQ with appearances by current Miss World Rolene Strauss, former Miss World Anneline Kriel and a host of former Miss SAs and other celebrities.
Surprise appearances from some of the Cell C Sharks rugby players will add to the entertainment.
