“I’m so grateful to be part of the top 15 semi-finalists for Miss SA 2020! Words cannot describe looking forward to the journey ahead, to grow, to learn, to help, and to inspire,” shared Thato after the announcement was made on the official Miss SA social-media channels.

At the recent awards ceremony of the SA Academy for Science and Arts the Stals Prize for multi- and interdisciplinary teamwork was awarded to Proff Louise Cilliers (from the University of the Free State's (UFS) Department of English and Classical Languages) and François Retief (former rector of the UFS). They have published more than 40 articles in accredited journals during the past 10 years, a number of which were published in book form last year as "Health and Healing, Disease and Death in the Graeco-Roman World". This was Prof Cilliers's second award from the Academy. In 1991 she and EL de Kock received the Academy Award for translated work.
