Simone Tshituka – the wife of Sharks player and Springbok newbie Manu Tshituka – is hoping to secure the title of Miss SA.
The actuarial science associate and part-time baker was shortlisted in the Top 12 and will compete for the crown at the pageant’s grand finale on Saturday, 14 November 2026 at the Sandton Convention Centre in Johannesburg.
SIMONE TSHITUKA IS MISS SA HOPEFUL
On Saturday, Simone Tshituka will take her place alongside 11 other Miss SA hopefuls competing for the crown.
The 27-year-old revealed that she entered the competition because she believes it celebrates, supports, and uplifts women.
“What an absolute honour and privilege to walk in purpose while having the best time of my life”, she shared of being shortlisted in the Top 12.
While Simone takes the Miss SA stage, her husband, Manu Tshituka, is travelling with the Springboks after being called up by coach Rassie Erasmus.
Manu plays for the Sharks, alongside his older brother, Vincent Tshituka.
