All Eyes On Miss SA 2025: What To Expect From South Africa’s Most Glamorous Night

A Night Of Glamour Awaits

It’s that time of year again when South Africans unite for one of the most dazzling nights on the calendar the Miss SA 2025 finale. With only hours to go until the crowning moment, anticipation is at an all-time high as fans eagerly await who will take home the crown, the sash, and the title of Miss South Africa 2025.

Set to take place at SunBet Arena in Pretoria on Saturday, 25 October, this year’s event isn’t just about beauty it’s about evolution. The Miss SA Organisation has shaken things up in every possible way: new hosts, new organisers, a new finale date, and even a new broadcasting home on Mzansi Magic (DStv channel 161).

A New Era With Familiar Faces

Taking over from Bonang Matheba, Nomalanga “The Flame” Shozi will command the stage as this year’s host, with the ever-charismatic Pamela Mtanga by her side as co-host. The red carpet will see Natasha Vermaak and Dr Fezile Mkhize bringing their signature charm to pre-show glamour.

This refreshed presenting lineup reflects Miss SA’s effort to connect with a younger, digitally savvy audience while still honouring its legacy of sophistication and class.

Music Meets Majesty

The entertainment line-up reads like a festival of South African excellence. Expect soul-stirring performances from Langa Mavuso, Karen Zoid, Makhadzi, Demi Lee Moore, Bucie, and Ciza, who’s sure to light up the stage with his hit Isaka.

Adding spiritual depth to the evening, Xolly Mncwango will bring a moving praise and worship set, while lordkez, known for her “Aweh” anthem, will infuse the night with her unique blend of soul and alt-R&B.

A Star-Studded Judging Panel

This year’s judging table embodies diversity and South African excellence. Former Miss SA queens Ndavi Nokeri and Tamaryn Green-Nxumalo will return this time as judges joined by actress Cindy Mahlangu, broadcast journalist Heidi Giokos, and branding guru Thebe Ikalafeng.

The mix of beauty, brains, and business insight sets the tone for what the organisation calls “a new standard of purpose-driven pageantry.”

Couture, Culture, And Crown-Worthy Fashion

Fashion will once again take center stage as the Top 9 finalists grace the runway in designs by some of South Africa’s most celebrated creatives.

• Sandi Mazibuku’s collection will honour the nation’s heritage and cultural diversity.

• Khothatso Tsotetsi is set to celebrate feminine strength.

• Londeka Buthelezi-Ndaba returns with daring silhouettes.

• Siphosihle Masango brings modern couture flair.

• Sello Medupe promises timeless sophistication.

• And of course, David Tlale will close the show with his signature touch of elegance and grandeur.

The finalists Bridgett Jones, Gizelle Venske, Ghee-Ann Rademan, Buyisile Mashile, Karabo Mareka, Nthabiseng Kgasi, Qhawekazi Mazaleni, Zanele Phakathi, and Luyanda Zuma are ready to shine under the lights and make their mark on South Africa’s biggest stage.

Excitement Builds Across South Africa

On social media, fans have turned the lead-up to the finale into a national event. Hashtags like #MissSA2025 and #CrownHer are trending, with Twitter and TikTok buzzing with predictions, fashion debates, and fan-made edits celebrating the finalists.

One user wrote, “This year’s Miss SA feels different it’s giving growth, innovation, and real representation!”

The Final Word

From revamped leadership to electrifying performances and a stronger focus on diversity and purpose, the Miss SA 2025 finale promises to be more than just a pageant. It’s a reflection of South Africa’s evolving identity bold, inclusive, and unapologetically beautiful.

As the countdown begins, all that’s left is one question: Who will wear the crown and carry the hopes of a nation into 2026?
