The Miss South Africa pageant is most definitely more than just the prizes and the money that the winner stands to walk away with but if we’re being honest, it is not a bad perk to have while she fulfils her duties and makes a difference in the world.
If these prizes are anything to go by, #MissSA2020 will, with no doubt, be one lucky Queen. She will take home a package of prizes and sponsorships worth an unbelievable R3 million!
The winner will receive R1 million in cash from the Miss South Africa Organisation, as well as the use of a fully furnished and serviced apartment at luxurious Central Square with fabulous interior décor by Enza Home and a Mercedes Benz C200 Cabriolet for the year of her reign. While the 1st runner-up takes home R250 000, the 2nd runner-up gets R100 000 and all 10 finalists will receive R25 000.
