Social media users comment on Van Rensburg entering the pageant
Ndlovukazi responded:
"She competed under Miss World South Africa when Carol Bouwer still had the Miss World license. And that's where she won. Now she's competing for Miss SA, which is different from the one she won. But we're also in the dark regarding who has the license now."
I am Ndeshi 🌻 said:
"So if she wins, she becomes Miss South Africa only?"
User5620256 reacted:
"Miss South Africa lost its international pageant licenses in 2025. These licenses were subsequently acquired by different organisations. Miss World is now managed locally by Carol Bouwer through Carol Bouwer Productions. Miss Universe and Miss Supranational are now under African Beauty International, led by Bokang Montjane. As a result, in 2025, international representatives were no longer affiliated with the Miss South Africa Organisation."
M.L.S replied:
"No, she was not Miss South Africa. Remember, she competed at the Miss World South Africa competition because she couldn’t enter Miss South Africa because she was still young at that time, so now, since she has reached the age requirement, she decided to enter the competition."

"No, she wasn’t. There was a Miss World South Africa which was held last year, then Miss SA used to go to Miss Universe, but not anymore since last year."

"Ya'll are not understanding that Miss South Africa lost their Miss Universe license, they only have the Miss World license, so if she wins Miss SA 2026, she'll have to represent Miss World again this year."
Kat Motsima responded:
"No, she won't. We still don't know who has the Miss World license. If the Miss SA organization had the license, then Qhawe would be confirmed to compete at Miss World later this year. Also, she can't compete at Miss World twice."
Umzimbaukhathele said:
"And there is a difference between Miss World South Africa and Miss South Africa. She competed at Miss World South Africa before and won, and now she has entered Miss South Africa."
I am Ndeshi 🌻 replied:
"So Miss World South Africa and Miss South Africa are 2 different competitions?"
