It’s been a year since Mia Le Roux was crowned Miss SA . When will she hand over the reins to her successor?
WHEN WILL MISS SA 2025 TAKE PLACE?
According to organisers, the Miss SA 2025 has been postponed to “later this year”. An official date has not been set.
This announcement follows the resignation of former CEO Stephanie Weil, who recently stepped down after helming the company since 2019.
In a press statement, organisers said the event would take place later in 2025 to “ensure the alignment with international and other global events.”
It added: “The organisation, through its affiliated companies, aims to broaden the reach and impact of the pageant and its contestants.
Organisers stated that Miss SA would be rebranded to include the pillars of entrepreneurship, job creation, cultural awareness, and social cohesion.
The pageant has yet to announce its Top 30 finalists.
MEET THE NEW OWNERS
Meanwhile, Miss SA organisation will now be part of the Motsepe Group of Companies, owned by Patrice Motsepe, one of South Africa’s wealthiest businessmen.
Last month., Africa Fashion International (AFI) – the fashion partner of Miss SA – revealed that it was now the “sister company” of the beauty pageant.
“AFI and the Miss South Africa organisation are proud members of a larger, family-owned group of companies, united by a shared vision for creativity and excellence”, read a statement posted on their social media platforms.
