From her acceptance speech: “I am incredibly honoured and humbled to be crowned Miss South Africa 2023. As I step into this new role, I am filled with a sense of responsibility to make a positive difference in the world around me. "I believe that success is not just about personal accomplishments, but about the opportunities we have to give back and uplift those around us. "I will strive to be a source of inspiration and support for others, just as I have been supported on my journey now and before. “This moment is the epitome of a full circle moment for me. A dream that started 11 years ago - and which three years ago did come to fruition after proudly representing my country on an international stage at Miss Universe at Miss Universe South Africa - has today become a reality. "It took a lot of hard work, grit, self-confidence and support to keep my dream alive and to keep on believing in the beauty of second chances. It is a journey that I will forever be grateful for which moulded and shaped me into the woman I am today. “I pledge to use this platform to advocate for the causes close to my heart and to be a source of inspiration for others. "Entrepreneurship lies at the heart of innovation and economic growth. It is the driving force that propels nations forward, creating jobs, nurturing creativity, and fostering a spirit of resilience. “I will also commit to cultivating an environment where entrepreneurial spirits can thrive. It pains me to know that more than half of South Africa's youth lack the financial means to pursue their dreams. "I was fortunate to receive a bursary that enabled me to continue my education, and I have been proactive in giving back. Not waiting for a crown on my head, I've been working to make a difference.” ----- Natasha's prizes include: R1-million, The use of a serviced apartment for a year, The use of a car for an undisclosed time, And a trip to Paris. ----- Lawyer Bryoni Govender was runner-up and the winner of the Crown Chaser of the season award, as voted for by the public, was architecure graduate Lungo Katete.
