Reigning Miss South Africa, Demi-Leigh Nel-Peters, will compete in November in the Miss Universe Pageant.
She is hoping to follow in the footsteps of former Miss South Africa title holders who have triumphed on the international stage – Penny Coelen crowned the country’s first Miss World in 1958; Anneline Kriel who took over the title of Miss World In 1974; Rolene Strauss, Miss World in 2014 and Miss RSA Margaret Gardiner named Miss Universe in 1978.
The 66th Miss Universe pageant is scheduled to take place on Sunday, November 26 (venue still to be confirmed), with Nel-Peters – a 22-year-old B. Comm graduate from Sedgefield in the Western Cape – leaving for the competition earlier in that month.
Nel-Peters believes that she is fully prepared for Miss Universe: “My preparations started when I was crowned Miss South Africa 2017. Just as with the Miss South Africa platform, I understand the responsibility of being Miss Universe and the impact it has on millions of lives.
