Speaking on behalf of numerous South African citizens personally affected, it is deeply troubling that a non-South African participant is being allowed to compete in the Miss SA Competition. This participant, unfortunately, does not meet one crucial criteria - she does not possess South African citizenship. This defies the lexical meaning of our nationally esteemed competition, which is to honor the embodiment of South African beauty, poise, and character.

An unsettling fact that compounds this issue is her conduct on social media. She openly scoffs at our concerns about her eligibility, posting videos insisting she will not bow down to our demands for justice. This behavior is not only disrespectful but exhibits a level of arrogance unbecoming of a potential Miss SA.

While we believe strongly in international camaraderie and respect, there is a clear distinction between that and allowing participants from other countries to compete in a national competition. It is highly unlikely that other nations would reciprocate by allowing South Africans to compete in their national competitions; it is only fair to apply the same principles on our grounds.

A petition to disqualify her does not come from a place of hostility, but from a desire for justice and an adherence to the rightful eligibility criteria of the competition. Sign this petition to uphold the integrity of the Miss SA Competition. Let's ensure that the competition remains a platform for South African women to shine.
