A Website for Everyone

Our commitment

Accessibility Statement

Miss South Africa wants everyone to be able to use this website, including people who use a screen reader, keyboard navigation, screen magnification, voice control or other assistive technology.

We aim to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 at Level AA. This is the international standard for accessible websites, and it supports the right to equality in section 9 of the Constitution of South Africa and the Promotion of Equality and Prevention of Unfair Discrimination Act, 2000.

What we have done

  • Text, labels and buttons on the main pages have strong colour contrast.
  • You can zoom in on any page, including pinch-zoom on phones and tablets.
  • A “Skip to main content” link is the first thing a keyboard user reaches, and every page has a main content area that screen readers can jump to.
  • Links, buttons and form fields show a clear outline when you move to them with the keyboard.
  • The main pages have one main heading each, so screen reader users can find their way around.
  • Photos of people have text descriptions. Decorative images are hidden from screen readers.
  • Our contact and community forms have visible labels for every field.
  • Moving effects switch off when your device is set to reduce motion.
  • The page language is set to English (South Africa), so screen readers use the right pronunciation.

Known limitations

  • Voting: the voting window on the Vote page is provided by Choicely. Some of its buttons do not have text labels for screen readers.
  • Videos: our films play from YouTube. Captions depend on the captions YouTube provides.
  • Tickets: finale tickets are sold on the Ticketpro website, which is not run by Miss South Africa.
  • Older pages: some archive pages from 2019 to 2024 were built before this standard and may have lower colour contrast or extra headings. We are improving them over time.
