5Drive had a heartwarming and candid chat with the newly crowned Miss SA, Mia Le Roux. 

Nick, with his signature humor, shared a relatable anecdote about his grandfather who often removes his hearing aid to escape family conversations. In a playful moment, he jokingly asked Mia if she employed a similar tactic to avoid unwanted interactions. To everyone’s surprise, Mia laughed and admitted to using her hearing aid as a selective filter especially for her siblings, much to the amusement of the 5Drive team and listeners.

Beyond the lighthearted banter, the conversation delved into the profound impact of Mia's win. She eloquently expressed how seeing a Deaf Miss SA would have inspired her as a young girl, emphasizing the importance of representation. Her passion for creating a more inclusive world shone through as she discussed her vision for her reign.
