Rosa van Niekerk, 40, won the title of Mrs Grand South Africa 2017 on Thursday, 15 June at a function held at the Roodepoort Theatre.
Karen Landman, 43, won first princess, while Dedré Delport, 42, won the Mrs South Africa Universal 2018 title.
Rosa, who is a Westonaria resident and lawyer, also won the Public Choice Award. She has been married for 12 years and has two children.
ZeeWorld was the media sponsor for the pageant, with 27 Red StageLine sponsoring the contestants’ make-up. Entertainment included the very talented Abel Knobel from The Voice SA 2016.
The pageant empowers women with the knowledge to inspire and motivate other women. All contestants need to make a difference and the purpose of the pageant is to bring about sustainable change. The Mrs Grand SA pageant is in its second year, with the Reinhardt Drewel Foundation as its official charity.
The Herald has attended two of Rosa’s charity events, where we got to know her as a down-to-earth person, with a big love for horses and an extremely good heart.
Anel de Swardt, the National Director of Commonwealth Pageants South Africa, said, “We are very proud of Rosa van Niekerk from Westonaria”.
