Two beauty pageant contestants from Bloemfontein have been shortlisted as finalists in two categories of Miss Stellar World South Africa 2024. The pair of Palesa Kobi and Karabo Tikiso are representing the Free State in this competition.

Kobi is a finalist in the senior category for women in the 30 to 45 year age group, while Tikiso is in the youth category, for women 18 to 30 years old.

The pair will strut on the catwalk during the crowning ceremony, set to be staged for the first time in Bloemfontein on 6 April.

With the grand finale scheduled to take place in Bloemfontein, this makes it a big night for the two local contestants who are eyeing the crown in their category.

Both Kobi and Tikiso received a commemorative award as winners in their respective categories after impressing the judges in the pageant’s qualifying round.

There are five finalists per division, having been determined by considering the four highest scores and the winner of the people’s choice award. All winners will be announced during the pageant’s crowning ceremony.
