A host of glamourous men and women made their way to the Times Square Sun Arena in Pretoria where Zozibini Tunzi was crowned Miss SA 2019.
This year's pageant was markedly different from it predecessors as the 12 finalists were more diverse than ever before.
Celebrities and A-listers who attended the event, which coincided with Women's Day, put their best foot forward, arriving on the red carpet dressed in stylish garb.
