Your Mr and Miss Sovereign Western Cape 2025 Are…
The Joseph Stone Auditorium was packed, the crowd ready, and by the end of it all, two new Sovereign royals had their crowns.
The Joseph Stone Auditorium in Athlone played host to one of the most anticipated events on the queer calendar — the Mr and Miss Sovereign Western Cape pageant. The crowd came ready for a show, and the finalists gave them exactly that.
This marked fifteen years of Miss Sovereign and the third edition for the men’s title.
Sixteen finalists worked the stage in themed wear, swimwear and evening wear before taking on a final Q&A round that tested who had the heart, brains and presence to represent the Sovereign name.
By night’s end, Laylah Raja Novacek reigned supreme as Miss Sovereign Western Cape 2025. Standing right beside her were 1st Princess Shuvandre Anastacia Rodriguez and 2nd Princess Coco Normani Ford.
Over on the gents’ side, Toufeeq Brinkhuis claimed the title of Mr Sovereign Western Cape 2025, joined by 1st Prince Valden-peter Prince and 2nd Prince Jody Lee Dryden.
The entertainment line-up was a full-on showstopper. Daylin Sass brought the vocals, the Omnia Dancers brought the moves, and Manila von Teez, star of Beaulah: Queens van die Kaap, owned the stage. The ever-charismatic Naythan Kayser ran the show with flair and humour.
Once known as Miss Gay Western Cape, the Sovereign pageant still celebrates respect, self-worth, equality, and pride within the LGBTQIA+ community.
