The drive of this reality competition is youth, social and economic development. The filming of the series is done and the journey will soon be on our local television screens aimed to air at the end of the year.
The evening kicked off with the 7 lovely Finalists in their South African Blazers as they briefly introduced themselves to the audience. This was followed by a moving tribute to our South African Icon, Tata Holihlahla Dalibhunga Nelson Mandela. Later on in the evening the 7 Finalists took the audience through their 4-month SAUBA journey dressed in beautiful evening wear courtesy of Hidden Gem International who will be dressing Myra Manganye for the year of her reign.
