It’s a pageant season in South Africa and young ladies are getting to rock the run-way and show the world what they are made of, TechDailyPost will be there to tell the story as it unfolds.
Former miss world Zozibini Tunzi, Bonang Matheba and Leandie du Randt are resident judges of soon to launch Crown Chasers on SABC 3, a five-part reality TV series which will now air on Sundays from 9 July at 16:00.
Mzansi viewers will get a chance to see the process of becoming Miss South Africa through a series of challenges, tasks and mentorship sessions with judging panel Matheba, du Randt and a weekly celebrity guest judge.
Guest judges will include 2018 titleholder Dr Tamaryn Green Nxumalo, 2001 titleholder Vanessa Carreira Coutroulis and 2010 titleholder Bokang Montjane-Tshabalala along with fashion designers Gert Johan Coetzee, Khosi Nkosi and businesswoman Koo Govender.
The pageant finale makes the triumphant return to the national broadcaster after almost 23 years, since the 1999 crowning of Heather Hamilton at the Sun City Superbowl, where 26 finalists took part. Fast forward, the finale will take place at Sun International’s flagship venue, the SunBet Arena at Time Square, Pretoria, on Saturday, 13 August.
“We are so excited and thrilled to be back on SABC3, not only for the final pageant event but also with a real game changer that is the Crown Chasersseries. We said we’d shake things up, do things differently and bring a new level of interest to the Miss South Africa competition, and I believe we have done just that!” Miss South Africa organisation CEO Stephanie Weil said.
