The time has finally come for the Miss South Africa Organisation to announce the Top 10 contestants competing for the crown on 25 October 2025, at the Sun Bet Arena, Times Square, Pretoria.
Taking to social media, the organisation shared stunning pictures of the Top 10 competitors, all eagerly waiting to claim the crown and use their platforms to create a lasting and meaningful impact.
According to Miss South Africa, three of the ladies have entered the competition before, much like the crowned Miss South Africa of 2023, Natasha Joubert.

Most of the contestants, except for two, now live and work in Gauteng, but there is representation from other provinces as well, with one contestant hailing from the Eastern Cape and another from KwaZulu-Natal.
"All 10 women have dedicated themselves to uplifting the communities they live in," says the Miss South Africa Organisation.
"Their advocacy campaigns include bridging the gap between access and opportunity, addressing the debilitating effects of extreme poverty, guiding young people across the digital divide, and showing unemployed South Africans that with the right tools and mindsets, they have global access to work."
"Beautiful, articulate, and determined to be of service to the communities they have committed to helping, this year’s Miss South Africa Top 10 exudes confidence and compassion as they begin their journey to the crown."
