23-year-old asset manager Ndavi Nokeri became a millionaire on Saturday 13 August when she won Miss SA 2022. Her runner-up was 22-year-old student Ayanda Thabethe who won R150,000 but no chance to enter international pageants. The set-up of runners-up competing at international pageants seems to be over now because Ndavi will represent at all three: Miss World, Miss Universe and Miss Supranational.

Succession wins Golden Globes for Jeremy Strong (Kendall), Sarah Snook (Shiv) and Best Television Series - Drama. Unfortunately this is meaningless. The awards have become so D-grade they only exist as a Twitter feed now. No TV ceremony, no stars, no guests. Just tweets. Insanely spun by the Golden Globes "as the most exclusive event in the industry". So exclusive no-one was there!

Also repeats on the new Me channel on Sunday 19 December at 20h00. Miss South Africa Lalela Mswane skipped the country in secret to attend, without media hype. All press releases from the Miss South Africa organisation have stopped since the backlash she received for going to Israel.
