Those who competed for the crown were placed in real-life Miss South Africa scenarios that included a series of challenges. These were based on the four pillars of Miss South Africa – duty, championship, empowerment, and beauty. All the finalists moved into Miss SA HQ from where they were given tasks that tested their ability to showcase their interpretation of these four pillars. Their entrepreneurial and business skills were put to the test; they were asked to find innovative ways to encourage tourism, to show support for female-owned businesses, to raise money for charity, or showcase aspects of heritage. A challenge winner was selected each week by the judging panel.
