What a beauty pageant looks like in the middle of a pandemic

Miss South Africa 2020 will be crowned at The Table Bay hotel during a closed event on Saturday, 24 October.Channel24 spent the day with the Miss South Africa top 10 finalists to learn more about the protocols put in place to accommodate a pandemic-era pageant.

, head of legal at the Miss South South Africa Organisation, Lisa Shein, says that engaging with fans during public outings has been a big challenge this year, due to the strict precautions. "We can't go out into very big crowds, and every entry and departure is met with the appropriate screenings and hygiene protocols. It is also essential for not just the finalists, but also the fans, to wear their masks and to practice safe social distancing.

She elaborates further, saying:"Another big challenge has been maintaining social distancing with photo shoots. In the earlier phases, each girl did their shoot individually, and we found a new way to merge the photographs. So, the official photographs were more focussed on having a cohesive theme, than having everyone together."

"They haven't had the opportunity to be roommates, and that is when the major sisterhood happens. They are missing out on forming those meaningful bonds in that way," explains Lisa, saying that the accommodation arrangements have played a big part in the overall pageant experience in previous years.

Aside from the standard laundry services, the Table Bay hotel has added a unique mask laundering service, which has guests' masks laundered by an outside supplier and returned in a sealed bag.
