Miss World 2025: South Africa's Zoalize Jansen van Rensburg remains upbeat after early exit
Despite showcasing the qualities of a well-rounded global ambassador, Jansen van Rensburg did not make it into the top 40. Despite falling short of expectations at the Miss World 2025 finale in India, South Africa's Zoalize Jansen van Rensburg has emerged with her head held high and her spirit unshaken. At just 19, the Pretoria-born model and youth advocate represented her country with poise and passion, winning hearts with her intelligence and purpose-driven vision, even if she didn't walk away with the crown. Jansen van Rensburg had been in India for nearly a month leading up to the 72nd Miss World pageant. Her advocacy platform, 'Never Too Young to Advocate', had impressed judges at the national level in South Africa, earning her the title of Miss World South Africa in October 2024. The digital project she leads is centred on empowering youth through education, representation, and activism. Its core pillars: educate, graduate, and advocate, aim to equip young people with tools to be heard and recognised in meaningful spaces. Her passion project was developed long before the Miss World pageant, and according to organisers, she remained actively involved in youth-centred charity work during her time in India. Despite showcasing the qualities of a well-rounded global ambassador, Jansen van Rensburg did not make it into the top 40. The Miss World title ultimately went to Opal Suchata from Thailand, a result that surprised some South African pageant fans who had closely followed Zoalize's journey. Nevertheless, she remains optimistic about her future. On an Instagram post she posted shortly after the finale she said; 'I can't wait to come back to our beautiful country. 'I see all your messages, I feel all your love, and I appreciate you all. We might not have gotten the result we expected, but never let this break our spirit.'

Miss World 2025 crowned amid new exploitation claims
The 72nd Miss World beauty pageant was held this weekend in India and Opal Suchata Chuangsri of Thailand was crowned Miss World. Chuangsri topped a field of 108 contestants in the contest held in India's southern Hyderabad city on Saturday. Hasset Dereje Admassu of Ethiopia was the first runner-up in the competition. Chuangsri received her crown from last year's winner Krystyna Pyszková. Speaking to ANI, Chuangsri said she would love to work in Bollywood if there is an opportunity. Chuangsri said: 'I feel very happy and proud. It is an honour to take the first Miss World crown to Thailand… I hope I have made them proud…If I get the opportunity, I would love to (act in Bollywood films).' Despite the celebrations, controversy has been brewing as Milla Magee, the reigning Miss England, has accused the organisers of the Miss World pageant of using her as window dressing. According to the Guardian, Magee said she agreed to take part in the 2025 Miss World pageant to promote her campaign to have CPR included in the school curriculum. However, she left before the grand final on Saturday, saying she felt she was being exploited, feeling like she and other women had been provided as entertainment for investors. Miss World organisers responded with a statement in which they referred to 'false and defamatory statements' that they said were 'completely unfounded and inconsistent with the reality of her time with us'. Julia Morley, the organisation's chief executive, gavean interview with the Hindu newspaper in which she accused Magee of leaving because she 'believed she didn't stand a chance in the competition'. Magee responded by saying that Morley's comments were 'vindictive and very bitter' and that she left because she 'wanted to stand for what I believe in and it didn't align with my values.' She said: 'I felt like I've been fed a false narrative of this system that promotes 'beauty with a purpose', that's supposed to be about advocacy and what you champion for. And I thought, right, this is a real good opportunity for me on a global stage to be able to talk about Go Far with CPR. This isn't about me standing on the stage, this isn't about what I wear. It's not about what I look like.' Magee claims she and other contestants were there more to entertain guests, with limited opportunity given to promote their causes.
