While entries for this year's hopeful applicants have officially closed, something about the 2025 entries caught people's eyes.
As it turns out, the Miss SA organisation has changed the rules and requirements for applicants.
Previously, the crowned queen could only turn 30 in her year of reign, but the age limit has been increased.

Applicants should be at least 20 years old and must be under 32 on August 30, 2025, meaning they can turn 32 in their year of reign.
The most surprising change, especially in the pageant circuit, that has been noted is that of the height and weight requirement.
Taking a healthier approach, the competition has announced that there will be no height or weight specifications or requirements.

Miss SA 2024 winner Mia le Roux shared some powerful advice for those who have entered:
The most important thing you can do is to come in with an open heart and an open mind because this journey will challenge you to explore who you are and what you stand for. If you embrace the journey fully you will come out knowing yourself so much better whether you take the crown or not.
After her crowning moment on August 10, 2024, Mia stopped by Jacaranda FM to speak to 'Breakfast with Martin Bester' about her win and what it meant to her.
