Miss South Africa 2009 competition underway
COULD YOU BE NEXT?
Miss South Africa and Miss SA Teen call for entries
Entries are now open for Miss SA and Miss SA Teen 2008 which will take place at Sun City on 13 December 2008, during a live one and half hour broadcast on SABC2.
Sun International, the license holder of Miss SA and Miss SA Teen, is looking for someone with extra special qualities. This is no ordinary pageant as the winner of Miss SA represents South Africa internationally and locally; plays an important role in various Sun International Corporate Social Investment projects and interacts both socially and in a business environment with leaders in society. Not only do you have to have beauty and a bikini-perfect body but you also have to be compassionate, intelligent and charitable.
Entry forms can be found in the following editions of Huisgenoot / You / Drum Magazines: 15th and 22nd August 2008-Cape Town,
18th and 25th August- Johannesburg and are also available at all Sun International hotels, casino’s and resorts. Closing date for entries is 31 August 2008
Once the entry form selection criteria has been taken care of, candidates will be invited to participate in all major cities (Cape Town, Durban, Port Elizabeth and Johannesburg) from 13 to 21 September. From these candidates, 40 semi-finalists for both pageants will be chosen and they will be flown to Johannesburg, transferred to Sun City and will enjoy an entertaining workshop for a week, from 16 to 22 October. The workshop includes lessons in deportment, etiquette, hairstyling and make-up. The semi-finalists will also learn how to market themselves effectively and how to deal with the media.
The final 24 contestants (12 for Miss SA and 12 for Miss SA Teen ) will be a group of passionate young women driven by their belief that they have a role to play in tackling some of the tougher social challenges in South Africa. Apart from the commercial aspects of the pageant and the glamour and benefits it will bring them, they will learn how to use their prestige to benefit the under privileged in South Africa.
If you’ve always aspired to be a beauty queen then this is your window of opportunity to be at the forefront of fashion, attend SA’s finest social occasions, meet the who’s who of corporate SA and firmly establish yourself on the next rung of your life plan. Being Miss South Africa and Miss SA Teen is not for wilting lilies, it’s for exotic blooms of tropical splendour. You have to know how to dazzle, to sparkle and to keep it up 24:7.
There are early morning photo-shoots, late night social occasions, overnight travel and people – lots of them. But it’s worth it. This pageant comes with the biggest prizes and the most prestige and Miss South Africa gets to wear an incredible t for the year of her reign.
Potential Miss SA Teens who are between the age of 15 to 18 years and Miss South Africa contestants who are between the ages of 19 to 24 years are eligible to enter. All “terms and conditions” are available on the website www.misssa.co.za or www.misssateen.co.za. You can also download the entry form on the website.

its a pity miss s.a is mostly girls from wel off familys and those who require the qualifications mentioned .. what if youde really want to be one and because of certain personal and painfull things that had occured to you , youve never accomplished the qualities you want.. what does one do when they really want to enter but cant because you will reject them?
and from the observation and what comes out of that persones mouth you can see that they’ve got potential…what do the unfortunate do?
Ramon, I agree absolutely!! It is not about financial or social standing!
