The new Miss will become a role model for young people and as an ambassador of South Africa. She will carry the country's heritage and one of South Africa's most recognizable symbols is the tree that symbolizes life.

At the event, Ursula Pule – Creative Director and co-founder of Nungu Diamonds shared: "My inspiration for the Crown came from the hunting trip we did in Musina in 2019; From the beautiful baobab tree, also known as the tree of life.

Baobabs are revered just like women, who are cherished as a source of life and positivity. Both are symbols of strength and resilience. The African sunrise is used as a metaphor to symbolize the rise of Miss South Africa at the start of her tenure, marking the beginning of her new life as South Africa's new beauty queen."
