This is a shame to us- South African Man shares disappointment of New Miss South Africa 2024, Mia Le Roux

A South African man has taken to social media to voice his disapproval of the newly crowned Miss South Africa 2024, Mia Le Roux.

His reaction comes shortly after former Miss South Africa, Chidimma Adetshina, stepped down following threats, as revealed in an official statement she released on her social media.

In a post shared on X (formerly Twitter), the man expressed his dissatisfaction, stating that Mia Le Roux’s selection does not reflect the desires of South Africans and feels like an insult to the nation.

“I’m South African and I say this is not what we wanted. This is a slap on our faces. Wena Bathong,” he wrote.

Despite the criticism, Mia Le Roux took to Instagram earlier today to express her gratitude to everyone who contributed to her journey, making it possible for her to be crowned Miss South Africa 2024.

she wrote: “What an unbelievable feeling. I have so much gratitude in my heart for each one of you who has supported me and rallied behind me ❤️
