CAVENDISH SQUARE TO HOST MISS SA REGIONALS


CAVENDISH SQUARE HOST VENUE FOR MISS SA REGIONALS

Cavendish Square has been selected as the host venue for the judging of the Miss SA Regionals which takes place on Saturday 23 July 2011.

Said Madrie Verwey – Cavendish Square Marketing Manager, “We are very proud to have been selected as the venue to host the judging for the Miss SA Regional competition, which reaffirms Cavendish Square’s status as an industry leader. Cavendish Square shoppers will be able to catch a glimpse of the local girls selected to go forward for judging as they register in the Stuttafords Court at Cavendish Square, this Saturday, 23 July at 9am. The girls will then proceed to a private venue for judging.”

Principal Judge and former Miss South Africa Sonia Raciti-Oshry will head up the judging process throughout the regions, and will be joined in Cape Town by; Carl Isaacs (stylist & make-up artist), Mary Reynolds (Pageant & fashion choreographer) as well as Robyn Cooke (O Mag fashion editor & Publisher Cape Town Style guide) and Ayanda Tini (Good Hope FM ).

Once the regional judging is complete, successful Miss SA candidates will be invited to participate in regional judging nationwide. Those selected will attend an intensive, interactive four day workshop in Sun City in August. The workshops include lessons in deportment and etiquette, brand management, financial skills, media training and general life skills. The workshop attendees are then put through their paces through further judging.

Thereafter the Top 12 finalists for the Miss SA 2011 pageant are appointed. The 12 finalists will be a group of passionate young women driven by their belief that they have a role to play in tackling some of the tougher social challenges in South Africa.

Miss South Africa Teen plays a significant role in the development and upliftment of the youth of South Africa. Her duties include conducting motivational speeches and focusing on social issues facing the youth, such as HIV/AIDs, crime and abuse.

The winner of Miss South Africa represents South Africa internationally and locally and plays an important role in various Sun International Corporate Social Investment projects. She interacts both socially and in a business environment with influential leaders in society. Not only do you have to have beauty and a bikini-perfect body, able to compete on the world stage against international beauties, but you also have to be compassionate, intelligent and charitable.

Miss South Africa will take place in Sun City on 11 December 2011, during a live one and half hour broadcast on Mzanzi Magic DStv channel 107 and Miss South Africa Teen on the 10 December 2011.
