Mrs SA Candice Abrahams Crowned Mrs World 2016

Mrs SA Candice Abrahams has been crowned Mrs World at the 27th Mrs World Pageant.
After two weeks of stiff competition, Mrs SA was crowned Mrs World 2016 at a glittering gala event in China on Saturday 12 March.

At the event, held at the Ballroom of the Goodview Hotel Tangxia in Dongguan province, Candice Abrahams beat Mrs Poland to clinch the title, while Mrs America, Korea and Canada rounded out the top five to officially become the most beautiful married woman in the world for 2016.

In a statement released, the new Mrs World said, “What an honour to be able to bring the Mrs World crown home to South Africa. It has always been a dream of mine to win Mrs South Africa and to represent my country on the international stage; to be bringing home the title is just the cherry on top of my achievements over the last year. I look forward to making South Africa and the continent as proud as Rolene Strauss did during her reign as Miss World”

The Roodepoort resident, originally from Wentworth in Durban, moving to Brighton Beach around the age of 10, Candice Abrahams, nee Van Leeve, is a business woman and model who is also a mother of two and the wife of radio presenter Ismail Abrahams.

Candice wowed the audience in her custom designer Werner Day evening wear. She was also a firm favourite in the national costume category in a show-stopping number by Anel Botha, which was symbolic of South African wildlife and an exquisite headpiece by Riana Conradie.

“We are beyond excited that Candice has taken this title, it is something that we have been working towards since she was crowned in October last year,” says Joani Johnson, CEO of Schwarzkopf Professional Mrs South Africa.

“We always believed that Candice would bring the title home and it is an overwhelming moment for the entire team that Candice has achieved her international goal.”
