Miss South Africa 2020 finalists

From thousands of entries and a selection of fifteen semi-finalists the ten women who will compete for the crown of Miss South Africa have been selected.

Shudufhadzo Musida was the entrant voted directly into the top ten by a public vote held earlier this year.

The remaining nine were selected by a panel of expert judges.

A shot at Miss Universe 2020

The winner of Miss South Africa will represent Mzansi at the Miss Universe pageant which will see our own Zozibini Tunzi crown the 69th winner of the prestigious event.

Sasha-Lee Olivier, who assumed the Miss South Africa crown after Zozibini’s glorious crowning moment in 2019, will crown the new queen at the end of Saturday’s finale.

“We have whittled these finalists down from literally thousands of entrants and we honestly believe we have found the 10 women who, right now, represent everything Miss South Africa stands for,” said Stephanie Weil, CEO of the Miss South Africa Organisation.

“Any one of these girls could be crowned the winner but only one will take the crown from her predecessor Sasha Lee Olivier, so we can look forward to a very exciting pageant where our judges are going to have the extremely difficult task of choosing Miss South Africa 2020.”
