Watch the crowning of Miss SA 2017 Demi-Leigh Nel-Peters

Lights, cameras, glitz, and glamour were the order of the night at Sun City as the whole nation watched Demi-Leigh Nel-Peters become our new Miss South Africa.

The 21-year-old from Sedgefield in the Western Cape impressed the judges from the start of the competition. Not only does she walk away with the sash and crown, but also with prizes worth R2-million.

Here's the beautiful and emotional crowning moment:

Adè van Heerden was crowned first princess and Boipelo Mabe second princess.

Congratulations, ladies!
