Miss South Africa Mia Le Roux had an outstanding experience during her farewell party at The Maslow Hotel in Sandton on Thursday, before the 73rd Miss Universe contest.
The 28-year-old is making history as the first deaf Miss Universe contender, with Nicaragua’s Sheynnis Palacios crowning her successor on November 16 in Mexico City.
“The Miss South African Organisation team and I have been working on every aspect so I can be an elevated version of myself,” Mia said at the farwell ceremony.
“I feel incredibly proud and honoured by this opportunity and privilege that has been entrusted to me. I cannot wait to highlight the beautiful diversity of our country and show that it is our biggest strength.”
Le Roux says her powerful story is her advantage, which stands as victory for her.
“I feel incredibly proud and honoured by this opportunity and privilege that has been entrusted to me. I cannot wait to highlight the beautiful diversity of our country and show that it is our biggest strength,” she added.
