What happens next?Once all the entries are in, paper judging follows and the successful Miss SA candidates will be invited to participate in regional judging nationwide. Those selected will attend an intensive and interactive four day workshop in August.
The workshops include lessons in deportment and etiquette, brand management, financial skills, media training and general life skills. This process is then followed by more rigorous judging sessions.
The winner of the Miss South Africa pageant will have the opportunity to represent South Africa internationally at the Miss World and Miss Universe pageants respectively.
