After much online speculation and rumours about the participation in the Miss Supranational competition, the Miss SA organisation revealed that it will not be participating in the Miss Supranational 2025 beauty competition.

In a statement issued on Wednesday, May 7, the organisation shared, through its official social media account, that it will not be a part of the Miss Supranational 2025 beauty pageant.

“With heartfelt gratitude to our incredible fans, we share that Miss South Africa will not participate in the Miss Supranational 2025 competition set for June in Poland. We deeply value the memories and connections of this event.

“We wish the Miss Supranational Organisation a spectacular event,” they added.

The organisation announced it will not renew its license for the beauty pageant. They clarified that this decision not to participate this year is unrelated to Miss SA 2024 Mia le Roux or first runner-up Nompumelelo Maduna.

However, the great news is that South Africa will still be participating in the Miss Supranational beauty pageant because Miss SA 2010, Bokang Montjane-Tshabalala, has taken to social media to announce that she is the newly appointed director of Miss Supranational South Africa.

Montjane-Tshabalala also shared a video on May 7 that as an organisation, they will announce soon who will be crowned Miss Supranational SA and represent our country at the international stage of Poland.

“Hi everyone, my name is Bokang Montjane-Tshabalala, Miss SA 2010, and I feel so honoured to announce that I am the new director of Miss Supranational SA.

"I am extremely excited about working with the Miss Supranational organisation, and I cannot wait to see lives change through this beautiful platform. 

“Please do stay tuned on our pages, and we are going to announce soon who the next Miss Supranational SA 2025 is and who will be representing us at Miss Supranational,” she shared.

The Miss Supranational beauty competition is set to take place in June 2025 at Malopolska, Poland.
