Miss Supranational SA, Shannon Benting, will be representing SA on July 31 in Poland.
The confetti has settled, the celebrations have quietened down and the reality of wearing one of South Africa's biggest pageant crowns has finally sunk in.
For Shannon Benting, being named Miss Supranational SA 2026 was just the beginning of a very exciting yet challenging journey.
As she prepares to fly the country’s flag on the world stage, she reflects on the past few weeks since her crowning back in June.
“It has been a whirlwind in every sense of the word. Being crowned has been an incredible honour but it has also come with its fair share of challenges, adjustments and moments of learning."
