💥 We need to talk about MISS SOUTH AFRICA 2023! | Review

#misssouthafrica2023 #misssa2023 #missuniverse2023 #natashajoubert
Miss South Africa 2023 is Natasha Joubert. She already represented South Africa at Miss Universe 2020. Bryoni Govender, the Runner-Up will probably be announced as Miss Universe South Africa 2023.
Whether or not Natasha Joubert will be representing South Africa at Miss Supranational 2024 remains to be seen... Perhaps that responsibility might fall to Miss South Africa 2023 Top 3 finalist Nande Mabala.
Miss South Africa 2023 Top 12 Finalists:
Ané Oosthuysen 25 (Unplaced)
Anke Rothmann 23 (Top 7)
Bryoni Govender 26 (Top 2)
Homba Mazaleni 23 (Top 5)
Jordan van der Vyver 27 (Top 7)
Keaoleboga Nkashe 27 (Unplaced)
Lebohang Raputsoe 24 (Unplaced)
Lungo Katete 26 (Unplaced)
Melissa Nayimuli 27 (Top 5)
Nande Mabala 25 (Top 3)

[@thecafebyk]

Zozi too

[@lt4651]

Please. This argument is disingenuous. These situations are not even remotely the same. When Zozi came in the second time she had no working relation with Miss SA and its sponsors, she did not even reach Miss SA stage in 2017. When Lalela went to Miss Universe she was under severe stress, she was bullied, she had no prep, she went to Israel just over a month before winning Miss SA. Her Miss Universe experience was horrible. Miss Supranational was the only time she received prep and other benefits. Catriona did not go to the Same organization twice while competing for Miss World or Miss Universe. Same with Andrea.

Something was really off with this edition.SABC should never host miss SA Again .The live performances were boring.I can't decide if the makeup was bad or the lighting. Miss SOUTH AFRICA needs more girls on stage like a Top 16. The top 7 should have showed their dresses not limiting them to top5. Congrats to Natasha but I feel like her performance was subpar.I feel like your final performances as a winner should justify your win. I feel like she wasn't answering her Q&As properly and her desperateness to win the crown was so apparent. Its a whole mess

[@liz-anneswanepoel2328]

The votes were fan favourite. The beginning of the show was incredible. Beautiful opening set. We bought VIP tickets which landed up being expensive cheap seats just so they could make the venue look full. The red carpet had a 3 hour long wait which we landed up skipping because every person attending the event had access.. so happy Natasha won but thought Nande was a better runner up. Just my opinion.

[@AmericanKendoll]

We can’t be watching the same pageant 😂 NATASHA DID THE WORST IN Q&A I wish people would stop acting like nande and Melissa didn’t slay

[@malusiblessingzondi2953]

I have to disagree. Her Top 5 answer was outstanding. It was direct, short and impactful. You don’t have to use all 30 seconds to get a point across, Catriona Gray did exactly this in Miss Universe Top 5 Q&A. Her Top 3 could’ve been better but she managed to sum up both Nande (Ubuntu = Humanity) and Bryoni’s ( Diversity) into 1 answer. She could’ve closed it off better still highlighted two things to answer the question asked. Mellisa was great but it was Natasha’s night.

[@lt4651]

Nande and Mellissa had best answers in the Top 5. Nande had the best answer in the Top 3. Bryoni was definitely the star on stage last night. I guess it was written in the stars for Natasha but let's not pretend that she was the best, she was not. Mellissa and Nande were the best last night. It is also not lost on me how Natasha literally prepped using photographers, designers etc. who works with Miss SA every year (including this year). So, she was literally comfortable with these people during most of the challenges because she has a personal/professional relationship with most of them. What we saw during this year's competition was (wh*te privilege, pretty privilege and Nepotism)

[@thecafebyk]

You are bitter, You cannot give a mediocrity performance the entire time and expect to win because you came through last minute. Y'all are too entitled. Natasha won, and you can go jump because whining will never change that.

[@supreme9801]

So wrong and so loud 🤡 Whoever is crowned Miss SA needs to be consistent and it has to be a woman who knows who she is. Melissa still has some emotional healing and internal work to do, Crown Chasers showed this. Especially in the last episode. She was not ready for this title. It’s not about who gives the best answers on the night.

[@leane_vanessen]

Agreed! Natasha worked hard and worked smart - that is a lesson in life. I don’t get the melissa hype - for me she doesn’t come across as authentic and relatable, also she wasn’t up to scratch and doesn’t have the same impact as Natasha. Natasha has the standard of global queens and I hope her example elevates future contenders to know where the bar is and to do the work

Last year the runner-up position was emphasized by Anele so i don’t think it was a thing of her being indirectly appointed for Miss Universe SA. I still think Shudu will be appointed as South Africa’s representative at Miss Universe this year. Though i was very disappointed with Bryoni’s answers to be quite honest for me they weren’t top two material.

[@aiseakonrote5381]

Yes...agree with you - Shudu should represent South Africa at the Miss Universe Pageant this year in El Salvador . Bryoni should Go to Miss SuperInternational...& Natasha to Miss World.

Congrats to Natasha but this was a National paegant she has been to an International paegant before so its not a surprise that she won....with all that training, yes it was kind of expected. Bryoni will be swallowed at Miss Universe she is not as strong as Melissa speaking wise. I still maintain Melissa should have been in top 3....Miss South Africa missed out on her again. Am i mad that Natasha won NO...she is stunning worked very hard. On the Other hand Melissa has those leadership qualitilies that are undenieable...she has the Michelle Obama drive....and i love that powerfulness

[@obasuyiaghogho6331]

Melissa has the talk, but not the performance honestly and MU needs the whole package, her interview skills might get her a semi final placement but she won't make a top 5 with that stage performance...Natasha was the only one I saw who might be able to get into top 5 but I believe with a lil work Bryoni might be able... and I personally believe the cuts were based on aggregate scores all the ways from crown chasers cause for me everyone else in the top 5 end crown chasers with a better performance than Melissa like she fell back tho she came back finals night I think it wasn't enough.... Just me opinion tho, u may disagree 😂

[@sandranayimuli470]

⁠@@obasuyiaghogho6331Regarding crow chasers, Melissa won a challenge, was in the top 3 for another challenge and was only in the bottom 3 once. The other girls in the top 3 (aside from Natasha of course) have never won a challenge in Crown Chasers. Nande was in the bottom 3 once and Bryoni was only in the top 3 once. So in my opinion, I don’t think Crown Chasers is the main reason she didn’t make it into the top 3, because overall, she performed better than both Nande and Bryoni in Crown Chasers (when looking at the average placements).

[@k.nows_yt8994]

Edit: Miss Universe South Africa is Bryoni 😍 After watching the finale, I feel like all will fall into Natasha being in Miss Universe again. The show had Miss Universe 2022 with so many exposures, also the show features a lot of the changes of the organization such as the inclusion of married candidates. The Miss South Africa org and the MU org seems to have a good relationship. Now i can feel that Natasha will be the first repeater of Miss Universe under the new org which focuses on inclusivity and transformational leader. Natasha for Miss Universe 2023 Bryoni for Miss Supranational 2024 Edit: but it's all upto Natasha too. Tho, Bryoni is also undeniably good for Miss Universe, i remember Divita was a Top 6 at Miss Diva and was appointed as Miss Universe 2022, shec can still place with that performance on the finale

There was something missing with Miss SA 2023, especially the first hour. The show was all over( my opinion) . I thought as well there will be top 8 after Lungo was announced as the voters choice, but to my surprise only top 7 went for swim suit competition. For Miss SA to respect Anne, Natasha must not go to Miss Supra. Bryoni to universe and Nande to Supra. i think that can make Anne feel better .

In my opinion, it would be in extremely poor taste for the MU organization to complain about the results and a runner up being sent this year, when their own representative R’Bonney was on the selection panel. It would basically be invalidating R’Bonney’s judgement. I do hope Natasha is able to compete at MS. For me she is so obviously a Miss Supranational that I was more shocked she wasn’t sent to that pageant originally than I was at her clapping at MU.

I remember Natasha saying she wanted to be Miss SA and not necessarily compete internationally. I also don't think Anne is going to fall for this trick of sending Briyona who's the runner up while not naming her the runner up. But we'll see I guess. And from what I've seen, having different licenses dilutes the talent. Many nations are sash heavy at Miss Universe but their othe license holders struggle to even place at Miss World, etc. The only exceptions seems to be India, USA, Venezuela and most recently South Africa to some extent. This I think is largely because the organizations that hold the other licenses tend to not be as strong and consistent as the ones holding the Miss Universe one. Relinquishing the Miss World and Supranational licenses might just handicap SA at these competitions.

Totally agree! Why did we pay for a service we did not receive. Also, did not like the final dresses, they could barely walk.

[@highland_persuasion]

As much as we think the new MU org has been quite progressive and has made bold changes that have angered many traditional pageant fans, leading us to think that anything is possible, I believe letting someone return to the MU stage to compete again is where they will draw the line. They are already getting more backlash than they ever have for letting married women and trans women compete, not to mention their controversial renewal of national franchises. In all of Miss Universe's editions, the one cardinal rule they have never broken is that on repeat performances. I don't think they can handle the backlash following yet another major rule change.

[@AgentAO7]

All I can say is: South Africa, prepare to clap this year. You don’t have Natasha, then you have Bryoni, technically as a runner-up which is not favorable for MU. Not saying Bryoni doesn’t deserve it. I think she is gorgeous. But MU Org will just give her the Natasha2020 treatment.

[@calvinmdlakaze4596]

You make sense so much!!!!

[@damienabsalon]

The audience was very loud. I think she was both passionate and couldn’t hear herself thus the loud answers

[@wavela]

I think they need to stick one designer for all segments of the coronation night, it just makes things easier because in this case Gert executed and expanded one concept for all the girls and it was magic. Same for swimsuit and suits, it was just beautiful. Going back to our winner, I think she will go to Miss Supranational 2024 no one has competed twice in Miss Universe. I wouldn’t send Bryoni to Miss Universe now or any of the top 5 finalists. Considering the tough competition this year, Shudu (Miss SA 2020) is our best contender. Trust me if Thailand crowns Verna, Jazzy or Anne (Miss Supranational 2019) and Michelle Dee from the Philippines it will be bloodbath at Miss Universe 2023. Our best bet is Shudu, she can trained on the walk and she will be fine especially around the allegations that the new MU owner doesn’t want runner ups there.

I think Miss SA took an overall crown chasers performance into the final outcome. Those who were the overall bst performers were at the top.

[@unathiliwani2532]

Yes, they did,and Natasha had an advantage because she was there before

[@thobekakhumbuse5563]

I am South African, I watched on the app for FREE. I did not pay for anything so I can't complain about the live constantly pausing😂

[@Mohohlonthabeleng]

South Africa choose themselves over Miss Universe im happy.

[@judejohnjohnson8596]

They had special awards for Top 11 in the first hour. Lungo won S2 Crown Chaser of the season. Bryoni won a Fitness Ambassador Award, something like that. I'm sorry you had streaming issues. That must've sucked.

[@lisedimatjie3058]

Did u just say Kea was probably bewitching you? 😭😂😂

[@lexi2120]

Natasha’s top 5 answer was not the best, her justification for her choice was terrible, Melissa gave the best answer, briyoni’s response was idealistic and inaccurate, nande gave a decent answer, so I would say her and Melissa deserved top3. Top3 Nande gave the best answer. Natasha wasn’t even top2 the entire night

[@Blessed404]

Nande was supposed to be muss universe

[@stephenanderson1594]

They should have announced the titles like in 2018 ironically the last time Bryoni made it finals then announce the Miss South Africa title. I don't think Khun Ann is pleased that the first runner up is going to Miss Universe.

[@nomfundomaqutu9829]

Natasha was great but a little scared in the final question, wish she had not included the last part , nonetheless deserving of the crown. Mellissa to me deserved a chance in the top 3 I won't lie I was disappointed not to see her there. Briyoni did ok she needs to work harder if she wants to place on Miss Universe. Anke, Nande and Homba were not ready this year. I wish they can comeback coz I love them With Homba I finally admitted after watching her performance that no she is not ready her mission statement was great though and she looked beautiful in blue Nande was gorgeous and she really tried, she answered better than Briyoni in that final Q even though she was super scared. At least she added meat in her Ubuntu answer unlike Briyoni who didn't elaborate more on diversity. The only thing I didn't like is her walk it's still a bit stiff Anke was great in terms of walks but in her final judging day her answers were all over the place and in her mission statement she said nothing at all I was a bit disappointed

[@nymet2454]

Good recap of Miss SA.

[@veronicaniekerk982]

South Africa missing out on a certain high placement or even winner at MU by not choosing Melissa as Miss SA. Unfathomable that she didn't finish in top 3 Miss SA

[@nashnyabe7470]

they posted the show on youtube

[@tristangreeff7294]

As for "probably Kea" bewitching you 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Dying

[@malusiblessingzondi2953]

Mellisa had one face during the entire evening gown segment : 😁 If you’ve watched Lu Sierra’s video you know this is a pageant crime. You can not hold one face the whole time. It seems unauthentic 🙈 Still love her so much though

[@kaya201]

It's clear your favorites are Natasha and Bryoni

[@ankeengel8187]

I cant believe people hating on natasha! Shes the best!

[@gdeec]

We forget in the past, girls tried 2 or 3 times to win the crown because they wanted to be Miss SA, just for the status and a childhood dream.
