Deaf awareness and phobias are part of our everyday life experiences.  Hopefully this medium will break the boundaries, and help all to understand the need for conciliation.

The Pageant’s vision is to see the whole Deaf society in South Africa develop through the medium of the beauty and entertainment industry by enhancing self-discipline, confidence, and freedom of culture and by presenting opportunities to empower people through competition.

The mission of the Pageant is to stage a production of the highest calibre, featuring Deaf people who are adaptable, flexible and true heroes of the day.  In addition to this, however, we would like the Pageant to become a vehicle for crossing the communication gap between the Deaf and hearing communities.

Miss Deaf South Africa must be an ambassador for her country, but most of all, she must be someone who can educate the hearing about the Deaf community and share with them the views of the Deaf community regarding so-called ‘disability’.  She will deal with and improve issues such as unemployment, human rights, better communication, and proper training institutions for the Deaf.

With the fashion and entertainment industry unfolding at a rapid pace, there are career opportunities for well-trained and talented people, including Deaf people.

The Pageant will have a tremendous impact on society through its commitment to successful training and empowerment of the Deaf.
