Verushka has chosen to step down in order to focus on important personal priorities at this time and to prioritise her family. The Mrs South Africa Organisation respects her decision and acknowledges the responsibility it takes to make choices that honour one’s well-being and personal journey.
“I am grateful for the opportunity to have served on this platform and for the incredible women I’ve had the privilege of standing alongside,” says Singh. “This decision is entirely my own, made with my family’s needs at heart, and I step away with nothing but appreciation for Mrs South Africa and what it stands for.”
“Verushka has carried the title with dedication and professionalism during her time on the platform,” says Joani Jacobs, CEO of Mrs South Africa. “We respect her decision and support her in prioritising what matters most in this season of her life.”
In keeping with Mrs South Africa tradition and succession protocol, First Princess Carika Bebb will assume the duties and responsibilities of Mrs South Africa 2026 with immediate effect.
“It is an honour to step into this role and to continue the work of this incredible women empowerment platform,” says Bebb. “I am committed to representing Mrs South Africa with purpose and pride and look forward to making a meaningful difference through the causes close to my heart.”
Mrs South Africa remains committed to its purpose of developing women of influence and impact. Programme activities and scheduled events will continue as planned.
