Award-winning multimedia entrepreneur and television presenter Pamela Mtanga proudly took center stage as the co-host of the Miss South Africa 2025 Grand Finale, which took place on Saturday, 25 October 2025, at the SunBet Arena, Times Square in Pretoria.
The glamorous event, watched by millions across South Africa, celebrated beauty, empowerment, and purpose. Pamela shared her excitement and heartfelt gratitude for being part of such a major national event.
She reflected on her journey and how hosting Miss South Africa had always been one of her biggest dreams.
“The 67th Miss South Africa led by Nomalanga the Flame with myself as the co-host was a dream come true,” Pamela shared. “I barely manifest stages, I just let the work speak and what’s mine will find me. But when it comes to Miss SA, it’s a stage I manifested, and I am so happy to have been a part of the beginning of this new era.”
Pamela expressed deep appreciation to the brands that continue to trust her with hosting duties, saying they helped her prepare for such a prestigious moment.
“Thank you to the brands that book me almost every week because that serves as practice for this stage. Can’t wait to share images from the arena with you — what a spectacular moment,” she added.
As she looked back on the event, Pamela also took time to praise the courage and brilliance of all the contestants who graced the Miss SA stage.
“I implore the bravery, confidence and absolute dedication of the ladies that walked that stage on Saturday. Women who are smart, daring and beautiful, who are change-makers! Our future is in great hands. Your work with Empower Youth Africa awaits.”
She congratulated Qhawekazi Mazaleni, who was crowned Miss South Africa 2025, and extended warm words of encouragement to Bridgette Jones for her strength and perseverance throughout the competition.
“Congratulations to Qhawekazi on being crowned Miss South Africa and a special recognition to Bridgette Jones for her courage and resilience, you did it! Against all odds, you showed up, and I cannot wait to see you back on that stage because you truly are amazing and I cannot wait to see you bring your impact statement to life.”
Pamela also celebrated the bond among all the contestants, calling it a true sisterhood built on empowerment and unity.
“And to the rest of the ladies, you’re now a part of a sisterhood that I’ve seen play out throughout the years. One that’s supportive and impactful! Like-minded individuals who want to see change and understand just how powerful they are. You showed our country what courage is like in front of millions, I hope you are as proud as I am.”
