Our Mrs SA 2024 finalists are flipping the script and showing us that our so-called ‘flaws’ are not imperfections; they are the signature details that make you, you. Confidence isn’t about fitting into someone else’s mold; it’s about breaking free from it and feeling comfortable in your own skin. When you celebrate your individuality, you inspire others to do the same.

Our Winners
Mrs SA offers women a life-transformation journey, teaching women how to be the best version of themselves, how to be a voice of change and to show up as the strong, influential women they are.

Empowering Women
Across South Africa

Empowering Women Across South Africa

Mrs South Africa™ offers married women an acclaimed self-discovery programme that aims to celebrate and further develop the skills of strong, talented and confident female leaders.
Mrs. South Africa™ recognises the value of marriage, and the essence of being a “Bonafide” woman. The program was created for married women who would ordinarily not have such a platform to compete and be ambassadors for South Africa, on a global scale. The Mrs South Africa™ Beauty Pageant is open to married ladies between the ages of 25 and 55, with or without children.  The organisation provides women with an opportunity to invest in themselves and to play a part in bettering the lives of those around them.
