The search is on for Miss South Africa 2025

And here we are, with the fabulous reigning Miss South Africa, Mia le Roux, ready to share golden nuggets of wisdom for all the aspiring queens out there! Did you hear? The age limit for entries has been elevated this year, opening new doors for women to step into their power.
So, are you prepared to embrace your inner fierceness? Your time has come! This is your chance to dream audaciously, shatter the norms, and ignite inspiration in those around you.
The hunt for the dynamic new Miss South Africa has officially commenced! Entries opened today, April 2, at 14h00 and will wrap up on April 11 at 18h00. Who will take the mantle from Mia and become a beacon of hope and determination for our nation?
Mia has some vital advice for those contemplating the Miss South Africa journey this year. She emphasizes that, “Entering Miss South Africa is all about bringing your true self to the table. This experience will challenge you to dive deep into your essence and fortify your beliefs. If you wholeheartedly embrace this journey, you’ll emerge with a clearer understanding of yourself, no matter the outcome.”
Authenticity is paramount, according to our queen. “Stay true to who you are—that’s your anchor. Equip yourself with knowledge about yourself and your country, especially regarding the challenges women face. Cultivate a solid work ethic, but above all, embody kindness. If you’re teetering on the decision to enter, leap into it! Your voice can spearhead transformation with the backing of the Miss South Africa Organisation.”
And let’s address the elephant in the room: perfection. “You don’t have to be flawless,” Le Roux encourages. “It’s okay to be human and admit that you don’t have all the answers! What matters is being at peace with yourself and maintaining a thirst for learning.”
Now, has her reign thus far met her lofty expectations? “Being Miss South Africa 2024 has exceeded my wildest dreams. Your life transforms, and you gain the power to touch countless lives, reshaping the narrative of what it means to be a strong woman. With every new queen crowned, we broaden the definition of strength and empowerment.”
Viewers can expect to get up close and personal with the finalists through the captivating reality series Crown Chasers. Season 4 will deliver even more episodes and, for the first time ever, a special post-finale reunion!
New this year: the age requirements have shifted. Contestants must be at least 20 but under 32 years old as of August 30, 2025, allowing for a birthday celebration during the reign. Plus, there are no height or weight requirements.
