The show was hosted by none other than the queen of television in Africa, Bonang Matheba. This is her second year hosting the annual beauty pageant and she did a stellar job.
As we all know, she didn’t walk the red carpet again this year. She held it down quite well. The production, the sound, the stage set up and Bonang’s outfit changes were on point as expected. Congratulations to our new Miss South Africa Zozibini Tunzi.
The Red Carpet rundown:
Connie Ferguson
Connie Ferguson looked like a supermodel, although she and her husband did not walk the red carpet together, they matched and they looked absolutely stunning.
Babalwa Mneno

she’s finally stepping out of her comfort zone. The red number she had on was jaw-dropping and breathtakingly gorgeous.
Tamaryn Green
The Galluzzi e Gini dress fits you perfectly and kudos to whoever styled you. They did a great job.
Basetsana Kumalo
As former Miss South Africa, you did what you had to do. Loved your look, the hair was not too much and your makeup was not too heavy.

Catriona Gray

Breathtakingly stunning. That’s how Miss Universe is supposed to shut down the red carpet.
Melinda Bam

Need I say more? Stunning. She looked regal as always.
Claire Mawisa

If she bought this dress with her money she needs to call the designer for a refund because this is not it. This dress is tired, boring uninteresting.
Khanyi Mbau

Absolutely stunning, skin is dripping, but wrong choice of hair.
Mbali Maphumulo

Absolutely Shocking! A red carpet host is supposed to be on these girls’ necks but you failed to do that yet again. Nothing new and that dress isn’t it.
Demi-Leigh Nel-Peters

As former Miss South Africa and Miss Universe, you were supposed to show these girls how it’s done on the carpet – this chopped up fabric is not really doing it.
Rolene Strauss

The design is ugly and the color combination is horrible. Fire your whole styling team, they sabotaged you.
Jessica Nkosi

The dress is hideous but at least you showed up to the event.
