In just five days, one of the top 10 Miss SA finalists will walk off the stage with the coveted Miss South Africa crown.
This year’s Miss South Africa will be crowned at The Table Bay hotel in Cape Town on Saturday, October 24. The show will be televised live from 5pm – across the continent – on M-Net, DStv channel 101, and Mzansi Magic, DStv channel 161.
The show’s director and executive producer, Gavin Wratten, says: “The Covid-19 pandemic may have restricted us in some ways, but it has also opened up many new and exciting opportunities.
“In 2020 we won’t just be broadcasting from one stage, we will actually be using the whole city of Cape Town as our stage, with additional crossings to Johannesburg. We will be broadcasting from the beach, from the city, from the harbour as well as from the top of the Miss South Africa apartment building in Sandton. While 2020 may have been a year like we have never experienced before, the 2020 Miss South Africa will be a show like we have never seen before.”
