Cape Town — Newly-crowned Miss South Africa Natasha Joubert now stands at the forefront of the nation’s attention but one man will always stand out from the rest – her boyfriend, Enrico Vermaak.
Enrico and Natasha are high school sweethearts and and Enrico has not shied away from showing Natasha just how much he loves her. He wrote a beautiful message to her on Instagram before she won the Miss SA title on Sunday.
“Anticipation builds as the stage awaits your radiance and grace tonight at Miss SA. Your journey to this moment has already inspired so many, and I can’t wait to see you shine even brighter. You’re not just a contestant, you’re one of the most inspiring women I know. Rooting for you always!”

According to The Citizen, the pair have been together since high school and they celebrated their seven year anniversary last year September.
“We started dating in matric and he is my other half and best friend. He was with me through the highs and lows. He’s someone I can walk a journey with and I can’t wait to call him husband one day.”
Enrico has been Natasha’s biggest fan since her first stint in the Miss SA competition in 2020 and was equally as supportive when she was selected to represent South Africa at Miss Universe in 2021.
He said he knew how much both competitions meant to her and that she was deserving of both crowns. He also called her a strong, inspiring and beautiful woman.
