Durban local, Ashley Eddy, (28), the current MR KZN and MR USHAKA MARINE WORLD, is soon to reach a deciding moment in the Mr South Africa 2016 competition at the end of the month.

Eddy has represented KZN in the competition for four months and is now currently completing his fourth and final challenge and all the while, hoping to be part of the Top 12 that will go through to the finals in November.

Each month the Mr South Africa management set out new challenges for the contestants to complete. Once completed they are then scored by the judges on reaching the criteria and objectives set out for them in the specific challenge.

Once scored, each contestant goes through an elimination phase based on their individual performance on each completed challenge. Eddy has currently been through these elimination stages and is facing the final elimination round which will take place after the 29^th September.
