Former Miss South Africa and businesswoman Bokang Montjane-Tshabalala has achieved a remarkable milestone in the international pageantry industry after securing South African franchise rights for three of the world’s most prestigious beauty competitions.
Montjane Tshabalala now oversees Miss World South Africa, Miss Universe South Africa, and Miss Supranational South Africa, making her the first South African pageant leader to hold what many in the industry describe as the global pageantry triple crown.
The achievement follows the addition of the Miss World South Africa franchise to her growing portfolio. Through her company, African Beauty International, she had already acquired the Miss Universe South Africa licence and was appointed National Director of Miss Supranational South Africa. The latest acquisition completes her leadership of the country’s representation at the three leading international beauty pageants.
Montjane Tshabalala is no stranger to the global pageant stage. She was crowned Miss South Africa in 2010 and later represented the country at both Miss Universe and Miss World in 2011, where she earned the title of Miss World Africa and finished among the competition’s top finalists.

Speaking about her vision, Montjane Tshabalala said her experience as a contestant gives her a unique understanding of what it takes to prepare South African women for success on the international stage. She emphasized her commitment to ensuring that South Africa not only participates in these competitions but competes to win.
South Africa has enjoyed significant success in global pageantry over the years. The country has produced winners such as Rolene Strauss, Demi-Leigh Tebow, Zozibini Tunzi, and Lalela Mswane. Industry observers believe that having one leader coordinate all three franchises could strengthen South Africa’s future performance on the international stage.
The development marks a new chapter for South African pageantry, with expectations growing ahead of upcoming Miss World, Miss Universe, and Miss Supranational competitions. Under Montjane Tshabalala’s leadership, the focus is expected to remain on developing strong candidates capable of continuing the country’s legacy of excellence in global beauty contests.
