Kuhle Adams to Host Miss SA 2026 Red Carpet

Television presenter Kuhle Adams is set to take centre stage at the Miss South Africa 2026 pageant, where she will co-host the official red carpet alongside entertainment personality Kat Sinivasan.

The pair will welcome guests ahead of one of South Africa’s highly anticipated beauty events on Saturday, 14 November 2026, at the Sandton Convention Centre in Johannesburg.

The official red carpet will open at 16:00 and will be broadcast live on S3, giving viewers a glimpse of the fashion, glamour and personalities arriving for the prestigious occasion. Doors to the finale arena will open at 19:00, with admission restricted to guests aged 18 and over.

Beyond the red carpet excitement, the pageant has also announced its first confirmed performers, promising an evening that celebrates South African talent and music.

The Ndlovu Youth Choir and JAZZWRLD, formerly known as Jazzworx, featuring Thukuthela, will take to the stage during the finale. Their performances will bring together South African choral music and contemporary African sounds as the twelve finalists compete for the coveted Miss South Africa 2026 crown.

This year’s production will unfold under the theme “From Imbokodo to Diamond”, which celebrates South African women’s strength, resilience and leadership.

The creative concept draws inspiration from Imbokodo, a symbol of women’s strength, service and contribution to society, alongside the brilliance of the diamond. Together, these elements reflect the values at the heart of the pageant as the country prepares to welcome its next titleholder.

With Adams and Sinivasan leading the red carpet celebrations, the event will bring together entertainment, fashion and inspiring stories of South African women.

The Miss South Africa 2026 finale will take place on Saturday, 14 November, at the Sandton Convention Centre in Johannesburg. Tickets are now available through Ticketpro, with prices starting at R450.

Guests can choose from four ticket categories. Silver tickets cost R450, while Gold tickets are priced at R600. VIP access costs R1,600, and VVIP tickets are available for R2,000.

As anticipation builds towards the finale, the event promises an evening of music, entertainment and celebration as twelve finalists compete for the Miss South Africa 2026 title.
