THE reigning Miss South Africa Natasha Joubert will soon become a Mrs.
This is after her boyfriend of nine years, Enrico Vermaak, popped the question over the weekend.
Her partner popped the question during a romantic sunset yacht cruise from the V&A Waterfront in Cape Town.
In a statement released by Miss South Africa Organisation, Natasha (26) said: “Enrico and I have been together for eight-and-a-half years and have known for a long time that we're life partners. The setting was perfect and so special as both our families and friends had flown down for the occasion.”
The organisation said she revealed she had suspected that Enrico would pop the question this weekend.

“I thought it might take place on a wine farm on Saturday, but Enrico decided to switch things around and propose during a Friday evening cruise. There were other people on board, and I didn’t see any of my family or friends, so I didn’t suspect a thing. However, he had organised that the top deck on the yacht was kept just for us, and our families were hiding downstairs in the kitchen area," she said.
“I was filming content on the front of the yacht when suddenly Enrico was standing there, ready to propose, with our friends and family in tow.”
Enrico got down on one knee and Natasha said yes.
“I'm on cloud nine and so happy. It’s a dream come true!” she said.
Stephanie Weil, CEO of the Miss South Africa Organisation was one of the first people to send congratulations: “We are delighted with the news of Natasha and Enrico’s engagement. We have got to know them as a couple during Natasha’s reign and know they're going to be very happy together. And what better month to make it official than in the month of February.”
Natasha said that she and her fiance would tie the knot when her Miss South Africa reign is over.
