The Miss South Africa Organisation has changed the rules and made it possible for all women, straight, trans, queer, large, small, short, tall or married, and with or

without children, to take part in the pageant.

Married? Married with children? Engaged to be married? Divorced? No matter what an entrant’s matrimonial status is, they are now eligible to enter the Miss South Africa race to the 2023 crown. The Miss South Africa Organisation has changed the rules and made it possible for all women, straight, trans, queer, large, small, short, tall or married, and with or without children, to take part in the pageant.

The Miss South Africa competition has been through many incarnations to ensure it stays relevant, current, and fresh and to make sure the Miss South Africa Organisation keeps up with the changing times.

Another addition this year is the inclusion of a ground-breaking seven-part TV series:

Crown Chasers is a thrilling reality show showing the Miss South Africa competition as it’s never been seen before.

She adds: ‘’Showcasing the multi-diverse nature of all of this will be at the core of the competition. Miss South Africa is no longer just a one-night pageant – viewers are really going to get to know the finalists during the television show.’’

Previously, only unmarried women, childless and those who have never been pregnant could enter the competition- which was discriminatory against other women because just because you are married with kids doesn’t mean you are incapable of wearing the crown and flying the South African flag high.

Last year, fans were introduced to “Crown Chasers,” a behind-the-scenes look at the build-up to the 2022 finale available on the Miss SA app. This year, Crown Chasers has been developed into a full-blown and thrilling reality show of those competing for the crown.

The Miss South Africa Organisation is known globally as a pageant disruptor, challenging old precepts, constantly shifting the goalposts and making the competition more diverse and more inclusive.

As Stephanie Weil, CEO of the Miss South Africa Organisation, says: “This year we have pushed more boundaries than ever before and we are delighted to welcome all women who are ready to step onto our leadership platform and be the next ambassador for South Africa.
