South Africa’s Natasha Joubert is competing in the Miss Universe pageant which takes place Sunday, May 16 in the United States  (02h00 to 05h00 on Monday, May 17, SA time).

The show will be broadcast live on 1 Magic (DStv Channel 103) and rebroadcast on Monday at 21h30 on the same channel. It will be the 69th edition of the Miss Universe competition and will be held at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel Casino in Hollywood, Florida, in the US.

Reigning Miss Universe Zozibini Tunzi of South Africa will crown her successor at the end of the event and South Africans are hoping for the “magic double” – back-to-back consecutive wins which has only happened once before in the history of the pageant.

This all South African affair also features South Africa’s Demi-Leigh Tebow (Nel-Peters – Miss Universe 2017) who will serve as an expert analyst.
