Miss South Africa 2020 Shudufhadzo Musida will represent South Africa at Miss World on 16 December.
"A new journey begins for our @missworld South Africa, @shudufhadzomusida, as she heads to Puerto Rico," the organisation captioned a video of Shudufhadzo taking her final walk as reigning Miss South Africa at the Grand Arena in Cape Town on 16 October.
The edition was originally scheduled for 2020 but postponed due to Covid-19, restrictions on travel, and large gatherings.
Miss World, the oldest existing major international beauty pageant, which started in the UK in 1951, proudly celebrates its 70th anniversary in 2021 when Toni-Ann Singh of Jamaica will crown her successor in Puerto Rico.
Shudufhadzo hopes to follow in the footsteps of three Miss South Africas: Rolene Strauss, Anneline Kriel and Penelope Coelen, who won the Miss World title in 2014, 1974 and 1958, respectively.
Shudufhadzo has already been labelled a "hot pick" to take the Miss World title ahead of the pageant.
With the time for departure drawing close, Shudufhadzo has given us a glimpse into her preparations through the lens of social media.
