Is Mrs. SA a competition for old or for young woman ?

Mrs. SA is, and has always been, a competition for all married women. It is a philosophy of the organizers that the best contestant will win whatever her age, and for that matter any other differentiator. As far back as 1971 women have entered who are grandmothers and in the same year Mrs. Martie van Vuuren, a 19 year old hairdresser from Springs entered the competition. Many of the recent winners have teenage children (yes they are more mature).

Is Mrs. SA based along cultural, race or language lines ?

No. In this case let the record speak for itself. Previous winners and runners up have been diverse in race, language culture and just about anything else.
