The time is now for all married women in South Africa seeking an exciting life-transformation journey, as entries for Mrs South Africa 2023 have officially opened.
Much more than a beauty pageant, Mrs South Africa is for #EveryWoman. It provides women the chance to take part in its acclaimed female empowerment programme. In addition to extensive networking opportunities, fun-filled events and philanthropy work, this programme provides women with extensive training and upskilling workshops, helping them to re-discover themselves, follow their dreams, and become powerful voices for change.
CEO Joani Johnson emphasises that Mrs South Africa is proud to celebrate diversity and inclusivity, uplifting and showcasing real, authentic, bona fide women from all walks of life.
“No matter who you are or your background, we would like to encourage all women to take the leap and invest in themselves by entering Mrs South Africa,” she says.
“In fact, a number of previous contestants have called this the MBA of life, giving women the chance of a lifetime to participate in a journey of bravery, sisterhood, networking, charity, and growth. As per our theme of the year #EveryWoman, we welcome all entrants, no matter your height or weight, educational background or whether you have any prior modelling experience. All you need is the courage, drive, and ambition to become the best version of you.”
Current Mrs South Africa Queen Palesa Matjekane notes that Mrs South Africa gave her the platform needed to reignite her passion and dreams.
“I have actually participated in Mrs South Africa twice, first in 2020 and then again in 2022, as I realised that I had so much more to learn and grow. I hope that every married woman out there will consider taking this life-changing step as I did, as it truly gives you the support and encouragement needed to help you to step out of your comfort zone and to pursue your goals with new vigour.”
