Demi-Leigh (Nel-Peters) Tebow on whether beauty pageants still have relevance in a 21st -century world…

“Being Miss Universe is a full-time job. I don’t think a lot of people realise that. But I see this as a springboard for winners to eventually do what you want to do. Just look at Halle Berry and Gal Gadot. They’ve gone on and started really great careers and very few people realise that it all sprang off beauty pageants.

They both competed at Miss Universe. And I just look at the previous Miss South Africas; the entrepreneurs they’ve become.

The most valuable thing I’ve gained [during my reign] is business experience. I’m my own brand manager, my own marketing manager, my own social media manager. I’m my own CEO. Well, I [was] able to raise just under a million Rand for fire victims in Knysna in just six hours. I work with various HIV/AIDS organisations to create awareness. And I wouldn’t have had the opportunity to do all of this if it wasn’t for my title.

I would have gotten there – but it would have taken a lot longer.” Demi-Leigh has crowned Miss South Africa and then Miss Universe in 2017.
