Miss South Africa 2020, the 62nd edition of Miss South Africa, will host its annual edition virtually in the month of August where the next delegate to represent South Africa at international pageants will be crowned.

Rebuilt under ‘Face your power, embrace your future’, stunning beauties will compete for the crown and the opportunities to represent South Africa in Miss Universe 2020, Miss Supranational 2020 and Miss World 2020. The Miss South Africa organization has announced the names of judges for the first round of the competition.

Just recently, the Top 15 semi-finalists were revealed out of the 35 contestants who began their journey in the national competition. Matsepo Ntsoaki Sithole, the 21-year-old stunning beauty, has made it to the list with her incredible beauty and grace. From Pietermaritzburg, KwaZulu-Natal, Matsepo is a full-time 4th year law student at the University of Pretoria. Her goal in getting her degree is transformation and justice in South Africa.

On being selected in Top 15, Matsepo exclaimed, “I feel powerful because I have been given the opportunity to be a mouthpiece for the creative industry. Moreover, excited and thankful for such an amazing achievement. The journey has been both wonderful and challenging. I have had to operate under the notion of ‘against all odds’.”

She says current Miss SA Sasha-Lee Olivier has inspired her to remind her why it is so important to be comfortable in your own skin and that every shape and size that women come in are nothing but beautiful. She describes herself as an introvert but also optimistic, caring and assertive.

South Africa’s performance at the international beauty pageants has been incredible as the divas have always proven their worth in the competition and with their remarkable performances, they have taken home multiple titles, especially in the recent years.
