Miss Universe South Africa, Mia Le Roux, has officially withdrawn from the 2024 Miss Universe pageant, citing health concerns. The unexpected decision comes just weeks before the global event, where Le Roux was set to represent South Africa on the international stage.
The Miss Universe South Africa organization shared that Le Roux’s health is their top priority and that this step was taken to allow her time for necessary recovery. Known for her advocacy and charitable work, Le Roux’s absence will be felt by fans and supporters both in South Africa and worldwide.
The organization has yet to announce whether an alternate contestant will replace her for the pageant, which is scheduled to take place in a few weeks. Le Roux’s supporters have poured in messages of encouragement, wishing her a swift recovery and applauding her courage in prioritizing her health.
