South Africa, and our Mr Gay South Africa organisers, have secured the running of the next Mr Gay World contest in Johannesburg this year and we look forward to the hunky contestants arriving in weeks. Thanks for representing South Africa for a second year in a row Francois, following in the footsteps of Charl from South Africa who held the title the previous year.

The contest runs over the Easter weekend from the 4th April to the Grand Fnale on Sun 8th April where our Mr Gay World will hand over his title. There's a full programme of events, most of which are open to the public and you can lift them off the website here.
