Kojo Baffoe, Amy Kleinhans-Curd and Bonang Matheba will be joining Anele Mdodo and Pnina Fenster on the 2014 Miss SA judging panel.
Amy Kleinhans-Curd, crowned Miss South Africa in 1992; magazine editor, poet and writer, Kojo Baffoe and TV presenter, model and cosmetics brand ambassador Bonang Matheba were today announced as the new judges for the beauty pageant.
“I have walked this road and have an in-depth understanding of what is needed to make a great Miss SA,” Kleinhans-Curd said on what she would be bringing to the panel.
Baffoe explained that he would be looking for a person who can be true ambassador for the country.
“Miss SA today is navigating a world that is in constant flux. She needs to be a true ambassador who can engage on various levels with intelligence, grace, humility, confidence and, most importantly, authenticity,” he said.
Matheba said that she sees her role in the pageant as a chance to help someone realize their dream.
“I grew up watching the Miss SA pageant and Basetsana Kumalo was a great influence. Miss SA empowers young women and acts as an elevator for those wishing to follow their dreams and make a difference in our country. Being a judge allows me to make a contribution in helping someone realise their dreams, which is enough to make anyone content.”
The Top 12 Miss SA finalists who are competing for the crown come from around the country: Gauteng and the Western Cape have three finalists each, Free State has two and the Eastern Cape, Kwa-Zulu Natal, Limpopo and Mpumalanga have one.
They are Abigail de Jager, Mpumalanga; Anzél Stofberg, Western Cape; Caylene Marais, Gauteng; Dipalesa Mbola, Free State; Jade Hubner, Western Cape; Julia Petersen, KwaZulu-Natal; Matlala Mokoko, Limpopo; Mishka Patel, Western Cape; Rolene Strauss, Free State; Tidimalo Sehlako; Gauteng; Tshegofatso Monggae, Gauteng and Ziphozakhe Zokufa, Eastern Cape.
The pageant will be held at Sun City on March 30.
