Lungo Katete from Midrand became the second Miss SA 2023 finalist to be voted out of Crown Chasers yesterday.
The 26-year-old model said participating in the show was an unforgettable experience.
“I met some of the most wonderful women in South Africa. I was surrounded by such an amazing organisation who made this journey worthwhile.”
She said the moment she would cherish the most was when she was told she made it to the Top 12, but the journey got even better with each passing day.
“We got to travel to the beautiful island of Mauritius and experience the people, the culture and shoot on a beautiful private Island, which is a moment I will never forget.
“To be eliminated was the hard part, but if there is one thing I can guarantee is that my journey does not stop here.”

The extraordinary welcome committee for the finalists included the Miss Universe Mauritius 2023, Tatiana Beauharnais, and the visionary National Director for Miss Universe Mauritius, Vandana Jeetah.
Ramesh, alongside the General Manager of Long Beach Mauritius, Christian Jaquier, hosted a welcome dinner at the HASU restaurant at Long Beach on behalf of World Leisure Holidays.
