Former public protector Thuli Madonsela and former Miss Universe Zozibini Tunzi, as well as radio and TV personality Thando Thabethe, will be judges for the 2022 Miss SA.
They are part of an allwoman judging panel that includes reigning Miss Universe Harnaaz Sandhu of India, former Miss World Rolene Strauss, award-winning journalist Devi Sankaree Govender and former Miss SA Suzette van der Merwe.
The beauty pageant is set to take place on August 13 at the SunBet Arena in Pretoria.
It will be hosted by radio and TV maven Anele Mdoda, with Moshe Ndiki hosting the red carpet.
"I am looking for an inspirational leader who believes in the possibility of and is playing her part to build a more just world," Madonsela said.
"Miss SA is a symbol of all the beauty that makes SA great. She inspires hope, goodness and valour. She aspires to nourish those around her and blooms like a rose amid the thorns.
"She has the ability to turn graves into gardens. I am looking for a virtuous woman who walks tall in her covenant blessings."
Tunzi, who can relate to the nerves the finalists are going through, also shared some advice.
"These are usually the people who know how to use their platform to contribute positively to humanity," she said
