Presented by Proverb, performers at the glittering show include Gangs of Ballet, Beatenberg and Sterling EQ with appearances by current Miss World Rolene Strauss, former Miss World Anneline Kriel and a host of former Miss SAs and other celebrities.

The 2015 edition of the Miss South Africa pageant is produced by [sic] entertainment (Gavin Wratten and Tebogo ‘Proverb’ Thekisho), the producers of South African Idols, who will bring their vast experience in creating large scale high end TV spectaculars, to the live pageant.

"The look and feel of the show ensures a modern, highly polished production with each scene having a different look and feel. This will allow the audience to get to know the contestants, and judge for themselves which of the 12 finalists would make the best ambassador for the country. Insider information and commentary from celebrities and industry icons will add further flavour to the audience experience," says Wratten.

The show will also tap into the rich history of the pageant with former Miss SAs mentoring the class of 2015, which will then culminate in something never before seen on a Miss SA pageant.

Surprise appearances from some of the Cell C Sharks ruby players as well current Miss World Rolene Strauss will add to the entertainment.
