Pnina Fenster to judge Miss SA 2016

The judging panel for the Miss South Africa Pageant 2016 includes none other than our GLAMOURous editor, Pnina Fenster!

Joining Pnina on the judging panel are former Miss South Africa 1994 Basetsana Kumalo; writer and entrepreneur Kojo Baffoe; actress and TV personality Sophie Ndaba and Bloemfontein designer Casper Bosman.

Regarded as leaders and trendsetters in their respective fields, they will be judging the Top 12 contestants on an array of criteria including their leadership qualities, communication skills, beauty and talent, physical fitness and a dedication to community service.

Pnina’s advice for all finalists is: “Enjoy this once-in-a-lifetime experience and know that, even if you are not the finalist, the pageant can lead to other wonderful opportunities. In the year in which I previously judged, for example, Ilze Saunders went on to become a brilliant Miss Earth, doing outstanding work for our environment, Ziphozakhe Zofuka, who was the first princess, became Miss South Africa after Rolene Strauss was crowned Miss World, and Mishka Patel and Jade Hubner are pursuing notable careers in media.”

So what will she be looking for in a potential Miss South Africa? “Beauty, smarts, personality, confidence and that indefinable X-factor!”

Miss South Africa, presented by Sun International in collaboration with Cell C, takes place at Carnival City on Saturday, March 19, and will be televised on M-Net (DStv Channel 101) and Mzansi Magic (DStv Channel 161) from 17h00 to 19h00.
