The 39-year-old Kempton Park resident Hannes had this to say during his formal interview for the title:  

Watch a clip of the announcement below: 

It is unlikely that van der Walt will represent South Africa at an international pageant due the Covid-19 pandemic. 

The competition started in 2019 with 95 candidates.

The list was eventually cut down to Top 30 then to Top 15 and in the end, only 10 finalists were selected to compete in the coronation ceremony.

It seems the twitter streets have been left less than impressed with the pageant candidates and the overall winner. 

What are your thoughts KZN, do you think Hannes Van Der Walt deserved his title?
