Pamela Mtanga, one of South Africa’s leading media voices, co-hosted the 67th Miss South Africa pageant this past Saturday alongside Nomalanga Shozi, earning widespread acclaim from audiences, celebrities, and peers across the country.
The prestigious event, held at the SunBet Arena in Pretoria, was yet another powerful milestone in what has become a defining year for Mtanga.
From her poised delivery to her natural chemistry with the crowd, Pamela’s performance was a standout moment, and social media didn’t hesitate to say so.
“I’ve hosted many stages over the years, but Miss South Africa was different,” said Pamela Mtanga. “This was a moment I saw for myself long before it happened. It was surreal to finally stand on that stage, not just as a presenter, but as someone who deeply understands what this platform means to the country. I’m so grateful I got to be part of this new era.”
Pamela also recently launched her podcast, My Audio Journal, offering listeners a more personal and introspective look into her journey and the layered conversations shaping womanhood, creativity and ambition. The show is the latest addition to a growing media portfolio that reflects Pamela’s range and vision. The most recent episode, released on the eve of Miss SA, featured award-winning rapper Nasty C.
“My Audio Journal has become such a safe space: for me and for the people listening. That conversation with Nasty C reminded me how much power there is in honest storytelling,” said Pamela. “Every episode is like a pitstop with someone whose story makes you pause and think. From Nasty C to Tebby Leburu to Oyisa, these aren’t just interviews, they’re honest, human moments that make you feel seen or stretched.”
