Her advice to the finalists is that they must hit the stage with a clear mind.
“My advice to the finalists ahead of the night is that when they hit the stage, they must not be too much in their heads. They have done an incredible job in the past few months, in and outside of their interviews. They have been the best representation of themselves. Half of the handwork is done. The final night is for them to be proud, to celebrate their achievement, and to have fun,” she said.
“To the winner of Miss South Africa. You are going to create the most beautiful memories and touch a lot of lives. Never take that lightly or for granted; it is a blessing. There are times when things will get really hard, and when that happens, I want you to remember why you started. It will get you through the craziest days. But most of all, live in the moment and enjoy it fully because time passes by so quickly. Good luck, you are going to be incredible,” she added.
This is what she will be looking for in a potential Miss South Africa: “There are different aspects to look out for, but I am mostly looking for someone with raw authenticity and sincerity about who they are. I am not looking for perfection or moral purity. Someone who has a voice and an aura about her that makes almost everyone feel at ease when they come in contact with her because she will be engaging with a lot of people in the year
Multi-award-winning, radio, and TV presenter Anele Mdoda was one of the judges in 2014 says that she will be looking for someone who is authentic.
“Same thing I look for every year. Someone who comes in with their own blueprints of what beauty is and takes us on their journey. We are merely facilitators in someone’s journey. You have to make me believe your plan.”
Nonhlanhla Peggy-Sue Khumalo is the current Chief Executive of Standard Bank Wealth, South Africa. Prior to joining the Standard Bank Group, she spent over 17 years with Investec Group. As a previous Miss South Africa title holder (1996) shares her advice to the finalists
“I would say be bold and courageous, stay curious, informed, and invest in continuous learning opportunities. Be hungry and when you get a shot take it! And remember your emotional, physical, and mental well-being is interlinked and all three are equally important. I believe any potential Miss South Africa winner has to be authentic, bold, unapologetic and must be a symbol to not only assume the position of being Miss South Africa but to exert influence on the decisions that determine our communities’ common social and economic prosperity.”
Leandie du Randt said that she is looking for an authentic lady who has passion in her heart, mind, and soul for what she stands for.
“I am a huge fan of true authenticity and showing up as your best self. I am looking for a lady who has passion in her heart, mind, and soul for what she stands for. I am looking for a lady who is captivating in the way that she lights up a room with her inspiring and authentic energy, beliefs, and being. I will also be looking for a lady that has strength, warmth, and a story of her own. My key piece of advice: show up as your best self and trust your gut,” she said.
