Meet Miss SA 2024 Contestant Mia le Roux

The Western Cape has one contestant vying for the Miss SA 2024 crown

Mia le Roux (28) was born in Sasolburg, Free State, raised in Oudtshoorn and currently lives in Cape Town. She is a marketing manager, model and part-time B Com Marketing student. She was diagnosed with profound hearing loss at the age of one and says her community rallied behind her to give her the gift of hearing; inspiring her desire to make a positive impact and break barriers.

“As a deaf woman with a cochlear implant, I represent a community that often goes unheard. I am here to prove that, despite being differently-abled, it has not affected me in terms of what I am capable of. My journey is a testament to the power of dreams and determination we all possess.”

“I have made it my mission to spread awareness and educate wherever I am able about the challenges faced by the deaf. We are not in need of sympathy; being deaf does not affect our intelligence and capability. We just need a little bit of help in terms of accessibility and inclusivity such as subtitles on TV shows, advertisements and sign interpreters at live shows. I aspire to eventually help provide cochlear implants to those who cannot afford it and give them the same gift my community has given me.”
