For the first time in the history of the Miss South Africa pageant, the top three finalists will represent the country at the world’s three most prestigious pageants.
Previously, the Miss South Africa Organisation has sent a representative to both Miss Universe and Miss World, but will also now be fielding a candidate to Miss Supranational.
The first Miss Supranational competition began in 2009 in Poland with 40 countries from around the world represented.
There are now more than 80 competitors from every
continent. South Africa has sent entrants before but this will be the first
time under the official Miss South Africa Organisation banner.
Last year Miss South Africa 2019 Zozibini Tunzi represented the Rainbow Nation
at Miss Universe and took the title, while first runner-up Sasha-Lee Olivier
went to Miss World.
According to Stephanie Weil, CEO of the Miss South Africa Organisation, her
organisation is delighted that a third finalist (the second runner-up) will now
be able to shine on the international stage.
“ Once Miss South Africa 2020 is crowned in August, and the two runners-up are announced, we will decide which candidate would do the best at which competition.”
Weil also, revealed that she was delighted with the number of entries received to date from around the country.
Gerhard Parzutka von Lipinski, President
of the Miss Supranational Organisation, said,
“It is with
great pride and pleasure that we welcome the Miss South Africa Organisation as
the newest member of the Supra family. Miss South Africa has a long history of
launching the careers of many phenomenal women. We have been extremely
impressed by the transformation the brand has undergone in the past year and we
are looking forward to welcoming one of the Top 3 of the 2020 competition to
the 12th edition of Miss Supranational.”
Miss South Africa 2020 will be crowned in the first
weekend in August, as the country starts its Women’s Month celebrations, with
an entertainment packed pageant which will be broadcast live on both M-Net and
Mzansi Magic.
