Mia Le Roux is celebrating her first anniversary of being crowned Miss South Africa, or Miss SA.
The model became the pageant’s first hearing-impaired winner in the history of the competition.
With new organisers on board, a date has yet to be set for the handover to Mia’s successor. Could she be the longest-reigning queen?
MIA LE ROUX CELEBRATES ‘CROWNIVERSARY’
On Sunday, 10 August – a day after the country celebrated Women’s Day – Miss SA organisers marked the first anniversary of Mia Le Roux’s reign.
“Happy crowniversary!” the official social media account posted.
In her first Instagram post since being crowned, Mia shared: “What an unbelievable feeling. I have so much gratitude in my heart for each one of you who has supported me and rallied behind me ❤️
The differently-abled Miss SA continued: “We created a new generation of believers. Every little girl out there who has felt different because they are not what society expects them to be will realise they are so wildly capable, just like I am”.
WHO IS THE LONGEST REIGNING MISS SA?
With the Miss SA pageant indefinitely postponed, Mia Le Roux is expected to serve beyond her year of reign and official duties.
The title of the longest-reigning winner belongs to Marilyn Ramos, who served almost 16 months in her position.
Marilyn was crowned in December 2012, crowning her successor, Rolene Strauss, on 30 March 2024.
