Miss Mayfair 2017 – And the winner is…

THE Lions Miss Mayfair 2017 had Cecil Emmett Hall abuzz with the glitz and glamour of the annual event on Saturday, as local beauties between the ages of three and twenty came together to compete for the title and the crown in the popular pageant.

It was a close call for organisers, as the event was almost postponed due to a lack of entries, but a slew of late entries, some literally at the last minute, was enough to ensure that the show went on.

Best dressed contestants were: Chanel Mortlock (3-5 years), Clarissa Scheepers (6-8 years), Mawande Cebekhulu (9-12 years), Kayla Becker (13-15 years) and Nqobile Nomvelo Mafu (16-20 years).
