Miss South Africa 2023 garnered over 1,08 Million viewers on Sunday.
The live broadcast was on S3 and SABC Plus, with Bonang Matheba as the host of the annual event.
According to Phil Mphela, the event made a new record with the number of viewers on S3, as it is double of what the TV channel pulls, and the first since September 2021.
Taking to Twitter, Phil wrote, “The broadcast of the Miss SA ceremony on Sunday, hosted by Bonang and executive produced by Relebogile Mabotja started with 641K viewers at 18h30 and rapidly gained more eyeballs, clocking more than 1,08 Million by 21h00 — a 10% audience share.”
“This is double what S3’s top rated programme currently pulls. It is also the first time S3 pulls over a million viewers since September 2021 with Qatar2022 Bafana Bafana v Ghana qualifier match pulling 1,03 Million at the time.”
The show trended through Sunday and on Monday; Queen B also trended for days as she brought her A-game to the show.
