Miss South Africa 2024 is Mia le Roux from Western Cape


Mia le Roux was crowned Miss South Africa 2024 during the pageant's national final on Saturday, August 10 at the Sub Bet Arena, Time Square in Pretoria.

The 28-year-old marketing manager, model, and part-time student received her crown from her predecessor, last year's winner Natasha Joubert.

Nompumelelo Maduna and Onalenna Constantin were the first and second runners-up, respectively, while Layla Zoubair and Ontshiametse Tlhopane rounded out the Top 5 finalists.

Taahira Katz and Kirsten Khan made the Top 7 while the rest of the Top 10 were Kebalepile Ramafoko, Lebohang Khoza, and Palesa Lombard.

Hosted by South African TV and radio personality and actress Bonang Matheba, this year's event marked the 66th edition of the annual Miss South Africa pageant.

Former winners Jo-Ann Strauss (Miss South Africa 2000) and Rolene Strauss (Miss World 2014) were part of the esteemed panel of judges.

The new Miss South Africa is expected to represent the "Rainbow Nation" at the Miss Universe 2024 competition in Mexico this November.

Mia was born in Sasolburg, Free State, and raised in Oudtshoorn in the Western Cape. She is a part-time student pursuing her bachelor's degree in commerce majoring in marketing.

Diagnosed with severe hearing loss at just one-year-old, the cochlear implantee credits her community for supporting her in gaining the gift of hearing.

This experience fueled her passion to make a positive impact and break barriers. She sees herself as resilient, dedicated, graceful, and kind.
