Zoalize Jansen van Rensburg still stand a chance to win the Miss World 2025 title.
South Africa’s representative at Miss World 2025, Zoalize Jansen van Rensburg, did not make the cut for the Top 24 finalists in the prestigious pageant’s Talent Competition.
The Talent Competition is one of the fast-track events that offers contestants a chance to secure a place in the next round ahead of eliminations.
Alongside the Sports Challenge and the Beauty with a Purpose segment, the Talent Competition allows contestants to showcase their skills and fast-track to the next round, as winners bypass the standard elimination process.
“Nearly 100 contestants showcased their talents with passion and dedication, bringing energy and character to the competition.
“Following a round of impressive auditions and a highly competitive second cut, 24 outstanding young women have earned their place in the Talent Challenge Final,” organisers announced on social media.
Representing Africa in the Talent Competition Final are Nigeria, Cameroon, Ethiopia and Kenya.
While South Africa did not make it to the finals of the Miss World 2025 Talent Competition, Jansen van Rensburg still stands a chance of taking home the Miss World 2025 title.
The 72nd Miss World will be crowned on 31 May at the HITEX Convention Centre in Hyderabad, Telangana, India.

How Miss World 2025 will be selected
Judges will begin by selecting a Top 5 from each continent. From there, the selection will be narrowed down to a Top 2 — consisting of one Continental Winner and one Continental Runner-up from each region.
These Top 2 contestants per continent will advance as the Miss World Finalists.
From this group, judges will announce the overall Top 4 finalists, who will be the Continental Winners. These four will then compete for the title in the final stage of the competition.
The final results will see the crowning of the 72nd Miss World, along with a 1st, 2nd, and 3rd runner-up.
Zoalize stands a chance of becoming the fourth South African beauty queen to win the Miss World title.
