Matheba, who was returning as a judge for the second time, unfortunately had to step down from participating in the 2015 pageant, as she has had to pursue a project in Los Angeles, taking place at the same time as the Miss SA pageant.

"It is unfortunate that I had to step down as Miss SA judge due to urgent overseas work commitments. My participation as a judge dates back to last year and I was really looking forward to extending my participation in 2015. I extend my well wishes to the Miss SA Organisation, as well as the Top 12 finalists. Make Mzansi proud," commented Matheba.

Matheba was part of the 2014 Miss SA panel of judges, alongside Anele Mdoda, Kojo Baffoe, Pnina Fenster and Amy Kleinhans, who officially crowned Rolene Strauss, who went on to scoop the Miss World title at the end of last year.
