Most X users celebrated the calibre of entrants this year, agreeing that “Miss South Africa 2024 is on another level.”
“Beautiful ladies….it going to be a tough competition. Good luck ladies,” commented @DJMaverickZA.
@fanas_mdlalose wrote: “Yesss out of my Top 20 predictions 13 of them made it.”
As expected, some were disappointed their favourites didn’t make it, but they were reminded that it’s now up to the South African public to choose their top picks by voting on the Miss SA app going forward.
Besides bemoaning the fact that there were no finalists from the Western Cape, IG users did have an issue that only their first vote was free.
“Congrats to the contestants but why is voting not free? Contestants with wealthier fan bases will get more votes? Feels bizarre in a country like SA with such immense inequality,” questioned a Miss SA fan.
