Rolene Strauss takes Miss World title

Miss South Africa Rolene Strauss has been crowned Miss World on December 14, becoming the first Miss South Africa to take this prestigious title since Anneline Kriel’s reign in 1974.

An ecstatic Rolene beat 124 contestants from around the globe and justified the faith thousands of South Africans had that she would win. This fourth year Volksrust medical student was also the bookmakers’ favourite to win the title and she didn’t disappoint.

In her acceptance speech Rolene said she was both proud and humbled to have won and that her dreams had become reality: “My country is my pride and my purpose has and will always lie within it.”
