If the first Miss South Africa transgender candidate Lehlogonolo Machabaas will finish in the Top 3, which pageant will she eligible?
So far she is eligible for Miss Universe since it was introduced in 2012 but it only materialized in 2018 by Angela Ponce of Spain, but we still don't know if she is eligible for Miss World because MWO stated that the transgenders required to get a birth certificate and passport as legally female. So Lehlogonolo's passport will be legally female but her birth certificate will be a big hurdle.

“When someone is accepted into Miss World, is a very simple thing. For me transgender people should do what they want to do and be what they want to be. But when you got rules and renditions on the whole world, one thing you have to do is remember you have to each follow the rules. Now the rule is you got to have a birth certificate and passport. You can’t have it without it,” addressed by Morley to the press.

But in the case of her eligibility at Miss Supranational, still undetermined since Gerhard & Miss Supranational Organization hasn't openly stated if they will accept transgenders into their pageant since Poland is not so LGBT friendly according to some reports but the transgenders can allow to change legal gender in their country.
