The organisers of the Miss SA pageant have announced that this year's finale will take place in Cape Town — a first in the history of the pageant.

Organisers unveiled the 10 finalists vying for the coveted crown, who represent six provinces, two weeks ago in a virtual reveal.

We are delighted that Miss South Africa will come to the homes of thousands of South Africans

Speaking on the move to Cape Town, CEO of the Miss South Africa Organisation Stephanie Weil said: “We are delighted that Miss South Africa will come to the homes of thousands of South Africans, as well as people from around the world, from Cape Town.

“The city is the 11th contestant this year.”

Cape Town mayor Dan Plato said: “We are aware this is happening while the entire world is still reeling from an unprecedented pandemic, but we believe proceeding with events such as Miss South Africa will provide hope and shine a light on our country’s beauty and female leaders during this period.

The venue for the finale will be announced later.
