Sun International, licence holders of the Miss SA and Miss SA Teen pageants, announced today that the Miss SA Teen pageant will no longer be taking place.
Celeste Khumalo, who was crowned in December 2011, will be the last reigning Miss SA Teen. This forms part of Sun International’s strategic repositioning of the Miss SA brand.
Sue Klerck Sun International’s spokesperson said: “We needed to better utilize the available resources and streamline costs by focusing our efforts on the Miss South Africa pageant. In order to accommodate the teen market we have lowered the entry level age for Miss South Africa pageant to 18 years.”
