Synopsis
Mzansi Magic has transformed the Miss South Africa pageant into a reality show, The Road to Miss South Africa.
The semi-finalists are in for the ride of their lives as their progress is chartered over the coming months during the workshops at Sun City Resort and in the interview sessions with the judges.
The reality-type show starts a few weeks before the finals and gives viewers the opportunity to get to know the finalists and have a clearer sense of who their favourites are as they head towards the finals.
Also documented is the elimination process - the semi-finalists are given tasks to complete during the workshops and are judged accordingly.
By the end of the workshops only a handful of girls remain and the finalists are revealed before the pageant, which is typically held in the Superbowl at Sun City.
