Tharina makes the cut – she’s a Top 12 Miss SA finalist
The 21-year-old will know on 27 May if she will be the next Miss SA.
A former Monument High learner, Tharina Botes, has made it into the Top 12 in the Miss South Africa 2018 pageant.
Tharina, 21, is a first-year B Comm marketing and business degree student at Damelin and a part-time model.
The Top 12 was announced on 3 May and one lucky beauty will be crowned Miss SA on 27 May. Traditionally, during the final on pageant night, the Top 12 finalists are reduced to five, from which a second princess is announced, followed by a first princess and then the winner.
This year, following the cut to the Top 5 finalists, the organisers will go straight to a Top 2 announcement.
One of the pair will be named Miss World South Africa and the other will receive the title of Miss Universe South Africa. Both will go on to represent South Africa on the global stage in their respective competitions.
However, as there can be only one reigning Miss South Africa, the two winners will be asked one final question by the judges as the pageant draws to a close. Their answers will determine who is crowned as the official Miss South Africa 2018.
Miss South Africa 2018, the Diamond Jubilee spectacular with host Bonang Matheba, will take place at Sun International’s new flagship venue, the Sun Arena at Time Square, Pretoria.
