Entries for Miss South Africa 2021 have now closed and the four judges who will pick the Top 30 to go forward to the next round are busy reviewing entry forms and videos ahead of the reveal on Tuesday, July 6.
They are all former Miss South Africa titleholders with Bokang Montjane-Tshabalala (2010) and Liesl Laurie (2015), who judged last year, being joined by first-time judges Melinda Bam (2011) and Tamaryn Green (2018).
Says CEO of the Miss South Africa Organisation, Stephanie Weil: “Who better to pick the Top 30 than former titleholders who have walked in the shoes of this year’s entrants and who will be able to bring out the best in each candidate while giving pertinent advice. They know what qualities a potential Miss South Africa needs to possess to represent this country on international stages.”
Says Montjane-Tshabalala, pictured above, “Experience definitely brings more compassion to my judging; having walked this journey I know exactly how it feels to want something so bad that you take a leap of faith to reach your dreams. It’s usually very emotional for me. It’s humbling to have been on the inside for the past four years and be part of the decision-making process.”
Her ultimate piece of advice for entrants, “Be yourself, be genuine, be honest and bring your A-game!”
Miss South Africa is presented by Weil Entertainment in association with M-Net, Mzansi Magic, and Sun International.
