Miss SA Mia le Roux’s most ‘irrational fear’
Whilst getting ready for her first shoot as Miss South Africa, the beauty queen took the opportunity to share more about herself with fans and followers of the pageant.
In an Instagram reel uploaded by the official Miss South Africa organisation, we get to know le Roux better by learning her most irrational fear:
“An irrational fear that I have, is the irrational fear of heights because my balance is not the best, but I try to make it work,” she says.

Studies have shown that balance deficits in deaf individuals have been well-documented. Le Roux, who was diagnosed with “profound hearing loss” when she was a year old, is the first deaf individual to be crowned in the Miss South Africa pageant.
