With the success of Rolene Strauss last year, this year’s Miss South Africa has a lot to keep up with. But let’s get on with the introductions, shall we?
This is Liesl Laurie, the new Miss South Africa 2015.
Liesl Laurie is 24 and comes from Eldorado Park, in Johannesburg and graduated with a B.Com General Degree from the University of Johannesburg (Soweto Campus). After graduating, she decided to take the rest of the year off from university to pursue a full time career in modelling and also to embark on her journey of giving back to her community and country.
“I have been working with a number of non-profit organisations that include Babies Behind Bars and Pilgrim Oasis Community Children’s Outreach in Eldorado Park and adjacent informal settlement in Kliptown.”
The prize is quite nice too: she won cash, a car and products valued at nearly R2 million. Included in this package, Cell C gave R200 000 to spend on “random acts of kindness”.

Princesses one and two are Refilwe Mthimunye and Ntsiki Mkhize.
