All eyes were glued on the Miss South Africa pageant as Tamaryn Green was crowned Miss SA 2018 on Sunday night.
The 23-year-old medical student from Paarl is most excited about using this platform to make a positive and progressive change in South Africa.
At the event held at Sun Arena at Times Square in Pretoria, Green said, “As Miss South Africa I will use my medical knowledge to help and heal. Secondly, as an influencer I will inspire and motivate all the women of South Africa to reach for their strengths and overcome their challenges.”

The results indicated that thousands of South Africans had tuned in from all over the country and abroad, and had taken mostly to Twitter to express themselves about the new pageant winner.
