Miss South Africa 2011 is Bokang Montjane

South Africa's MU 2011 representative is a Public Relations Management student from the province of Limpopo and she is no other than  Bokang Montjane of Honeydew Ridge, Johannesburg. She was crowed as Miss South Africa 2011 on December 12, 2010 at Sun City. She is 23 years old and she stands 1.75 cm (5' 9"). She is currently doing her final year in Public Relations and Corporate Communication at the University of Johannesburg. This African beauty queen runs a modeling agency and confidence school based in Auckland Park and she is the Public Relations Officer of ABZ Community Foundation.


Before she competed in Miss South Africa 2011, she had won various national pageants. She was crowned Miss Earth South Africa 2007, Miss International South Africa 2009, Miss Teen Limpopo 2004, Miss UJ 2006, Face of Fashion Eastgate 2010 and Miss Rivonia 2010. She was a top 16 semifinalist in Miss Earth 2007 pageant in Quezon City, Philippines and bagged the Beauty for a Cause award. Two years after, she competed again in Miss International 2009 in Chengdu, China but she was unplaced. 


Montjane is going to represent South Africa in Miss Universe 2011 and Miss World 2011, which will give her a record as the first woman who will compete in the four grand slam pageants.  

Dhesha Jeram from Constantia, Cape Town was the 1st runner up and second princess was the gorgeous Bianca Coutinho from Bedfordview in Johannesburg. Dhesha Jeram has a B.Com degree in Economics and Management and is currently working for Shell SA in Human Resources. While Bianca works at Sandton City Shopping Centre as event coordinator. She is a graduate of BA Corporate Communication at University of Johannesburg. 


Montjane loves reading motivational books, giving motivational speeches and public speaking. She also enjoys dancing and singing. 


Here are some of the comments I collected from pageant experts and enthusiasts around the globe. Credit goes to missosology.org for the sources. 


"OMG she's terrible!"

"Oh my! From Nicole Flint to..uh, never mind! Okay, she did place at ME 2007 but that was because she was the recipient of the Beauty for A Cause award and not because she was stunning or what! You know Miss Earth, they always give at least a slot to the most philanthropic girl regardless if she's ugly as hell or not."

"Stop it! She is not ugly. It's true that a lot of candidates were way better than her like Natasha Kashimoto. But I'm sorry, she is not ugly."

" OMG! She is soooo fu***g horrible! I mean, Anya was way better than this girl. I'm soooo fucking mad right now. It is like you have to choose between candy and poop, and they choose poop WTF!"

"She will be the only Miss South Africa who will compete all the 4 grand slam pageants. She is not ugly as you guys "shout" at here. She is an ordinary girl as you can see on the street. You can't predict, she won't place for sure, because you're not the judge in Miss Universe and Miss World. Eventually, the runners-up are not better than the winner."

"I think they just want to crown dark-skinned girl to avoid racism. Take a look, starting from 2003:
2003 Cindy Nell - light
2004 Joan Ramagozzi - dark
2005 Claudia Henkel - light
2006 Thuli Sitole - dark
2007 Megan Coleman - light
2008 Tansey Coetzee - dark
2009 Tatum Keshwar - mocca (this girl represents both colors)
2010 Nicole Flint - light
2011 Bokang Montjane - dark
See? Miss SA has different colors every year. I love Bokang, she's cute."

"She might pull a surprise... she improved a lot though from her miss international stint..."

"I mean she must've been VERY articulate to have won but looking at the top 3, I'm sure the judges were smoking something." 
--Kiwi


YUCK!!

"We have just witnessed the crowning of the WORST Miss South Africa EVER!!!"
--Ex Miss
