Dr Meghan Cyster, a 41-year-old Cape Town dental surgeon and former lecturer at the University of the Western Cape, has been crowned Mrs South Africa 2027. She holds a Bachelor of Dental Surgery, a Postgraduate Diploma in Oral Surgery, and a Postgraduate Diploma in Implantology, as well as qualifications in aesthetics. Cyster's career has extended beyond clinical practice, having served as a lecturer and clinical supervisor in oral surgery at the University of the Western Cape.
Cyster is married to Lyall Cyster, and the couple has three daughters. Her family is her greatest source of strength, motivation, and inspiration. Away from her professional responsibilities, Cyster enjoys travelling, cycling, staying active, and spending quality time with her family. As she steps into the Mrs South Africa role, she hopes to use her platform to advocate for equitable access to healthcare and education, while encouraging women to recognise their worth and potential.
Cyster's vision for her reign as Mrs South Africa 2027 includes promoting everyday kindness as a means to bring about meaningful and lasting change. She believes that every act of kindness has the power to create a positive impact. Joining Cyster on the Mrs South Africa 2027 court are first princess Aleche Landman and second princess Adré Müller, both of whom bring their own professional experiences and personal passions to the platform.
Aleche Landman, 35, is a mother of three who lives on a citrus farm outside Letsitele in Limpopo. She is married to Hertzog Landman and is involved in the family business, which includes citrus farming and an Astron Energy fuel station. Landman is also an entrepreneur and founder of Living Life with Lemons by Aleche, a platform inspired by her Mrs South Africa journey.
Adré Müller, 39, is a Pretoria-based storyteller, digital content creator, and advocate for women living with purpose. A University of Pretoria graduate with a BA in Drama, Müller spent 13 years in education before transitioning into journalism, fashion editing, and digital media. She now uses storytelling as a way to connect with, inspire, and empower others.
Müller has been married to her husband, Brett, for 10 years, and their home is filled with the love of their dogs. Her Christian faith is central to her life, and her personal motto, "Crowned in Purpose", reflects her belief in resilience, hard work, and living with intention. Both Landman and Müller will support Cyster in her role as Mrs South Africa 2027.
As Mrs South Africa 2027, Cyster plans to use her platform to make a positive impact on her community. With her background in healthcare and education, she is well-positioned to advocate for better access to these essential services. Her reign will be marked by her commitment to promoting kindness, empowering women, and making a difference in the lives of others.
