It's "world pageant week" this week with Miss Universe and Miss World coming up in the early hours of this Monday (9th) and next Saturday afternoon (14th).
Here's a rundown of where you can see the pageantry:
Miss Universe 2019
Our Miss Uiniverse contender, Miss South Africa Zozibini Tunzi.
It's the usual mess this year when it comes to its DStv broadcast because it was still unconfirmed last week when we enquired about it.
Today it turns out it's going to air on 1Magic only and there are no last minute additions to Vuzu as happened last year.
| South African broadcast date and time (Live broadcast): |
Monday, 9 December at 02h00 |
| South African TV channel: |
1Magic |
| Venue: |
Tyler Perry Studios in Atlanta, Georgia, USA |
| Miss Universe 2018 (predecessor): |
Catriona Gray of the Philippines |
| Pageant hosted by: |
Steve Harvey (Let's hope he crowns the right head this year.) |
Miss World
Our Miss World contender, Miss South Africa runner-up Sasha-Lee Olivier.
It's a mess too so hang onto your concentration... it might not be live on SABC3 this year because the channel's in its not-so-SuperSport3 mode.
The time depends on whether or not there's an Mzansi Super League game on the day.
The Super League Play Offs are happening on Friday (13 December) but if they're rained out, they'll happen on Saturday instead, in which case Miss World will be delayed.
Check in on the day to see what's happening.
Here's an overview:
