PICS: Miss SA reveals her Miss World dress

Johannesburg – We know that pageants these days are about more than just beauty, it’s about brains too. Even so, we still say seeing the magnificent ball gowns the ladies rock on the big night is one of the best parts of the competition.

On Wednesday our very own Miss SA, Ntandoyenkosi Kunene, who will be competing for the Miss World crown, revealed the dress she will be wearing for the competition.

Desinged by JJ Schoeman, the dress is meant to resemble “the rising sun,” taken from the meaning of the word Mpumalanga, the province where Ntando originates from.

Today we bid our @kunene_ntando an emotional farewell as she embarks on her @missworldpageant journey. A nation of proud South Africans all stand behind you, Ntando! You're every bit the radiant queen to us. #MW2016 #CellC #MissSA2016

And beside me I have my parents. Bo'Kunene You have carried me this far. God made it possible that you carry me even further. I walk calmly knowing I will always have you. #MissSA2016 #MissWorldSouthAfrica #MissWorld2016

We can't get enough of #thedress. Designed by @jj_schoeman, inspired by @kunene_ntando's hometown of Mpumalanga which means 'place of the rising sun', it's as radiant and exquisite as the woman wearing it.
