The 2014 Miss South Africa's pageant's coming up this Sunday (30 March) in an hour-and-a-half special on Mzansi Magic.
The action starts at 17h30, in the usual
Road to Miss SA timeslot, and the special runs until 19h00, ending with the announcement of the winner.
The special's going to feature a build-up followed by the ceremony - but not the red carpet. The red carpet's going to be on V-Entertainment on Vuzu instead. It starts at 16h00 and runs until 17h00.
What can we expect from the ceremony besides flashy outfits and hot butts? Elana Afrika-Bredenkamp extends her Road to Miss SA hosting gig to the ceremony - she'll be hosting solo.
Mi Casa, Bucie and Matthew Mole are headlining the musical performances which are being musically directed by Urban Creep alumnus Brendon Jury who'll be conducting a 13-piece orchestra.
And the winner will be ...
Who? Who's your fave?
