The Miss South Africa Organisation has confirmed it will not be sending a representative to the Miss Supranational 2025 competition, set to take place this June in Poland.
In an official statement, the organisation thanked supporters for their unwavering encouragement and understanding, though it did not specify the exact reasons behind the decision.
This marks the second year in a row that reigning titleholder Mia le Roux will not represent the country on an international platform. Her previous withdrawal from Miss Universe 2024 was attributed to health concerns.
The announcement has stirred a range of reactions from the public. While some fans voiced their disappointment over South Africa’s continued absence from global beauty pageants, others expressed support for the organisation’s decision and Miss le Roux’s well-being.
