Here is the list of Top 30 'Miss South Africa contestants

On Monday, May 16 2022, the organisation of Miss South Africa finally revealed their list of the top 30 participants who will be battling out for the coveted Miss South Africa 2022 title.

The Top 30 candidates this year include an estate agent, corporate lawyer, veterinarian, forensic science graduate, instructors, models, entrepreneurs, and law students, according to the organisation.

TRUELOVE editor-in-chief as well as businesswoman Makhosazana Zwane-Siguqa, Miss South Africa 2015 Liesl Laurie, actress Simoné Nortmann, Koo Govender, Khosi Nkosi co-founder Nobukhosi Mukwevho, and TV and radio personality Thando Thabethe were among the judges that nominated the ensemble.

For the next few weeks, all the women have to give their best in order to impress the judges and voters. Then the top 10 contestants will get the opportunity to go to the finale, and the list will be published on June 13 2022, through the Miss South Africa app, which can be downloaded for free.

According to TRUELOVE, CEO of Miss South Africa, Stephanie Weil, the development of the Miss SA app is to confirm the viewers have an interactive experience with the pageant and have an inside look into each finalist’s journey.

“No doubt, the pageant will be bigger and better than ever before, as it always is.” We’re extremely pleased to be back in a big arena, and there are some really interesting things that haven’t been published yet about where it’ll be when it is, and how it’ll be, but post-Covid – if that’s the right word – we’ve started to bring it back to the people. It’s all about getting a true insider’s perspective on what’s going on,” she explains.

Stephanie advises Miss SA contestants to remember what the competition is actually about during this time.

The procedure for voting for this year’s Top 10 finalists will be done virtually on the Miss SA app.
