Jesse Clegg is a platinum-selling singer-songwriter with five SAMA (South African Music Award) nominations. He makes a return to the Miss South Africa stage after having performed at the finale in 2019.

Kamo Mphela South Africa’s dancing sensation and amapiano vocalist made a name for herself when videos of her dancing at events went viral on social media. Her energy was tangible, her love for the art form palpable. She was introduced to a global audience in 2022 when she featured on the Black Panther soundtrack album.

Zoë Modiga creates a distinct sound to communicate a modern, evolving African story without losing its essence. As a lively transcendent performer with a background in classical and jazz training, she enchants audiences into another world while having an evocative individualism in fashion and imagery. She has performed at festivals around South Africa and on global stages and participated in Somi’s Salon Africana series (New York) and production, Dreaming Zenzile (New York/Utah), a celebration and reimagining of Miriam Makeba’s life.

Lebo Mashile is an award-winning writer, performer, producer, actress and activist. She is a South African household name who is most recognisable for her lyrical and gutsy poetry which has captivated audiences worldwide. Mashile has acted both on stage and in film and performed with the University of Johannesburg Choir in The New Covenant, a moving elegy on climate change written by Antjie Krog. It was recently released as an album. Mashile is currently working with UJ Arts & Culture to adapt high school poetry set works into a full length stage production.

Andiswa Gebashe was known as the President’s interpreter during the Covid19 pandemic and is a South African Sign Language (SASL) activist. Her knowledge and passion led her to become a consultant and language practitioner in edutainment and performing arts. As head researcher for Beyond on SABC2, Gebashe’s work earned her a South African Film and Television Awards (SAFTA) nomination. She was also one of the first SASL performers on Comedy Central’s Democrazy special.
