Miss Drag South Africa (MDSA) is a national pageant where beautiful and intelligent drag queens and transgender ladies from across the country put their best fashion foot forward to be crowned Miss Drag SA.

Enigma Von Hamburg, Director of Miss Drag South Africa, said the pageant has positioned itself as a catalyst for change within the LGBTQA+ community and beyond.

“Born out of the ethos of “Drag with a purpose”, MDSA has provided a platform where change agents are cultivated to engage in transformational work that is community orientated and community specific,” they added.

The beauty pageant has been around since 2017, and the fifth queen will be crowned in Cape Town later this year.

Who can enter?

Von Hamburg says the ideal Miss Drag South Africa is a member of the queer community, who is passionate about social change and able to advocate for inclusion and solidarity with the aim of creating an affirming, open, just and enabling society.

Anyone who is/was assigned male at birth and who identify either as non-binary, gay and/or transgender and who is a lover of the art of drag can enter the beauty pageant.

“We are aware that drag is not a gender identity but a form of expression that has later become an impetus for queer liberation,” Von Hamburg said.
