Some netizens were thrilled about the change, with inclusivity meaning more ladies could have their dream realised:

“Great news and I hope more women will be empowered and have the courage to participate.”

Boitumelo Makgale said:

“Great news, mothers with low self-esteem will regain their pride.”

Mawethu Gugwini is all for it:

“Great news indeed. It's a big step in the right direction. I can’t wait to see women of different sizes compete together.”

However, some peeps felt that it didn’t make sense to include married ladies, since the contest is called ‘Miss’ SA, especially because there is already a Mrs SA pageant in existence:

“Then it's no longer Miss! So, there will be two Mrs SA beauty pageants? Miss/Mrs and Mrs! Hayi, this is not a good move.”

M Porsh M Selogelo added:

“But they must also understand that wives and mothers come in different body shapes from those pageant ladies. Mothers with babies usually have Mkhaba.”
