White Star Super Maize Meal is returning as the main sponsor of the highly anticipated Miss Soweto 2017 beauty pageant.

After months of auditioning and preparations, the number of Miss Soweto 2017 hopefuls has been whittled down from hundreds of entries to 20.

The semi-finals to select the top 20 were held recently at Soweto’s Maponya Mall.
The event showcased 40 contestants, with each one given an opportunity to parade her talent on stage. The contestants were required to introduce themselves and answer one question from the judges. They not only had to impress the judges with their confidence and grace, but also the excited crowd.

The master of ceremonies was Mapaseka Koetle, who stars as Dintle in the e.tv soapie Scandal. The winner of Miss Soweto 2017 will take home prizes worth over R100 000 and will be appointed as brand ambassador for White Star.
“We encourage the residents of Soweto and beyond to be part of this momentous occasion,” said White Star marketing manager Mokhele Makhothi.

“They will all gain new skills to empower them not only for the duration of the competition, but in their future endeavours.”

White Star is also proud to welcome the following partners for this year’s Miss Soweto pageant: Clinix Health Group, Even & Lovely, Black Opal and Urban Zulu.
