After a period of uncertainty and public speculation, the Miss South Africa Organisation has returned with a bold new direction. With a renewed focus on purpose, leadership and real-world impact, what is usually a Top 30 reveal has been reimagined into a powerful and focused Top 10 announcement.
These ten women represent the best of a new era, one where beauty meets service, and the crown is worn with intention. On 25 October 2025, one of them will be crowned at the SunBet Arena at Time Square, Pretoria, ready to lead South Africa into the future.
Judges Devi Sankaree Govender, Ndavi Nokeri, and Liezel van der Westhuizen will seek courage, grit, and authenticity in every one of the finalists to crown Miss SA 2025. Despite the changes, the calibre remains unmatched. These queens have already answered the call.
