Miss South Africa in apartheid: when beauty was officially skin-deep

In 1970, at the height of apartheid, two separate pageants were held - one called Miss South Africa, for white women, and another, Miss Africa South, for women of colour. The two winners that year were Jillian Jessup for Miss South Africa and Pearl Jansen for Miss Africa South."They both went on to represent South Africa at the Miss World pageant," said Louis Fourie, an independent Miss South Africa archivist.
