Former Miss Universe and Miss South Africa Zozibini Tunzi is set to host the second season of South African reality show Crown Chasers.

The five-episode series will place Miss South Africa 2023 finalists in real-life scenarios that include challenges based on the four pillars of the pageant – duty, championship, empowerment and beauty.

Tunzi, who will also executive produce the show, said: “Hosting a TV series for the first time has been a rewarding experience. It came as second nature to me because the show is about a world I’m very familiar with. What made it even more fulfilling was being a part of building it from the start, every step of the way, from an executive producing perspective.”

In the show, a challenge winner will be chosen each week by a judging panel comprising media mogul and businesswoman Bonang Matheba and actress and entrepreneur Leandie du Randt, as well as a weekly celebrity guest judge.

Matheba said: “I am looking for a young, modern woman who South Africans can aspire to be like – somebody they see a little bit of themselves in; someone who is relatable, proudly South African and carries herself with dignity, grace and elegance.”

Durandt added: “I am looking for a woman who has that Miss South Africa smell and feel to her when she walks into the room; someone who must be able to be the best version of herself at all times, and someone who is memorable, has a presence and a purpose in her heart to serve and lead the country in being the best it can be.”

Crown Chasers is due to begin next month.
