The Miss Universe pageant will be taking place on January 14 in New Orleans, USA and Mzansi's go-to TV presenter, Bonang Matheba, will not be hosting the prestigious event.
On Thursday morning the organisation announced the four hosts who will be leading the proceedings.
"Jeannie Mai and Olivia Culpo will serve as the hosts for the 71st Miss Universe competition. Zuri Hall and Catriona Gray will serve as backstage commentary."
