Mister South Africa is a South African beauty pageant that selects representatives to compete in international men's beauty pageants.[1]
The contest welcomes South African men of all backgrounds. The Mister South Africa brand annually searches the nation for the next deserving titleholder to serve as a positive male role model to younger generations. Through the pageant, the finalists are provided opportunities to further their careers and promote causes.[2]
The first official contestant on Mister South Africa was Shane Ford in 1994. Ford participated in Australia for the Manhunt International pageant.[3]
Contestants have represented South Africa in major men's international beauty pageants, including Manhunt International, Mister World, Mister Supranational and Mister Global.
JP Robberts, the CEO of Mr South Africa, has been appointed as the new National Director for Mr Supranational South Africa. Since 2025 the winner of Mister South Africa will be competing in Mister Supranational.[4]
