28-year-old Mia le Roux was crowned Ms South Africa on Saturday night (10 August). According to Mia, this is why she entered:" As a deaf woman with a cochlear implant, I represent a community that often goes unheard. I am here to prove that, despite being differently-abled, it has not affected me in terms of what I am capable of." 28-year-old Nompumelelo Maduna, who made the Top 3 in 2019, was runner-up. Third time lucky? Pix, Q&A in the comments. >>
