Sasha-Lee Laurel Olivier, 26, is the new Miss South Africa 2019. She assumes the mantle from titleholder, Zozibini Tunzi, who was crowned Miss Universe in December 2019.
Sasha-Lee said she was thrilled to wear the Miss South Africa crown.
"I am so happy for Zozi who deserves, in every way, to wear the Miss Universe sash. I wish her every success. I step into big shoes. I just want Zozi to know that I will do my best to fill them."
Speaking from New York, Zozi said she was delighted that Sasha-Lee would be taking over from her.
"I cannot think of anyone who is more suitable to be Miss South Africa. Sasha has it all: beauty, brains and, above all, a commitment to help others. I have no doubt that she will use her reign to help improve the lot of those in need."
Miss South Africa Organisation CEO, Stephanie Weil said Sasha-Lee would, going forward, assume all Miss South Africa duties, as well as fulfilling her obligations to the sponsors.
