For the first time, the Mrs Universe Pageant will be hosted in African, South Africa to be precise. The event will take place at the People’s Park, Moses Mabhida Stadium in September, 2017.

It will involve beauty queens from 84 countries around the universe. The contestants will gather in Kwa Zulu-Natal later this year as the Mrs Universe Pageant debuts on African soil.

The Mrs Universe pageant is an international beauty pageant and Human Rights Forum open to married women from different countries and nations of all the continents around the world. The women must be between the ages of 25 and 45, have a family and a career, and are involved in a “significant cause” to uplift their individual local communities. This is in line with the theme: Empowering Women. Creating Change.
