The top 19 finalists of Miss South Africa 2026 have been announced.

The Miss South Africa winner will not compete on an international stage, but each finalist will drive an Empower Youth Africa campaign, the official social impact programme of Miss South Africa.
The organisation explains that EYA is designed to translate influence into action, with a focus on youth and women empowerment through initiatives including youth employment pathways, entrepreneurship and skills development, health and wellness with an emphasis on mental wellbeing, education access, scholarships, digital learning, civic engagement, leadership development, and Pan-African collaboration.
