LEBOHANG RAPUTSOE ELIMINATED ON ‘CROWN CHASERS’

The Top 12 Miss SA finalists star on reality show Crown Chasers – a five-part series which airs every Sunday. Each week one contestant will be eliminated leaving just seven finalists to compete in the finale held at Sun Bet Arena at Time Square Casino in Pretoria on 13 August. On the first episode Lebohang Raputsoe was eliminated.

According to a statement from Miss SA, Lebohang explained that she will be working on the skills she needs to polish.

“I found the challenges on the day of the elimination the hardest as I am a heavy planner. And doing things spontaneously has never been one of my strengths. I am a very honest and realistic person and believe that I could have done better. However, I also do not want to be too harsh on myself because I did my best. But I am always on a journey of self-development and will definitely work on the skills I need to polish,” she said in a statement.

While this should just leave 11 contestants, Levern José dropped out after bullying allegations had been levelled against her. Crown Chasers was filmed before she quit. So, she is still in the series and there will be no replacement.
