Forty years after Anneline Kriel was crowned Miss World, and 56 years after Penny Rey won the title, Rolene has taken the crown for South Africa again.

Rolene is a fourth year medical student at the University of the Free State who now lives in Bloemfontein and believes “we are all made with a purpose, a dream that has been planted in our hearts.” 

An ecstatic Rolene beat 124 contestants from around the globe and outshined first runner-up Miss Hungary and second runner-up, Miss USA.

In her acceptance speech Rolene said she was both proud and humbled to have won and that her dreams had become reality: “My country is my pride and my purpose has and will always lie within it.”

South Africa is beaming with pride and expressed their excitement on social media last night after Rolene was crowned Miss World 2014 

In case you missed it Rolene vistited The East Coast Breakfast team a couple of months ago and had the pleasure of chucking water all over Darren Maule:

Congratulations Rolene! We all are so very proud of you.
