MISS SA Natasha Joubert is full of praise for Miss Universe, Zozibini Tunzi.
Without Zozi’s encouraging words, the next potential Miss Universe would not have entered the Miss SA competition.
On her Instagram page she wrote: “In 2019, Zozi Tunzi stood on the Miss Universe stage and said that she wanted girls/women to see their faces reflected in her. Those words stuck with me and is one of the reasons why I entered Miss South Africa.
“Little did I know that I’d be the next woman to represent the same country that she represented that night.
“I’m forever in awe and humbled by this opportunity! Zozi, just seeing you felt like home.”

The post was accompanied by a photo of her and Zozi hugging.
Her fans have interpreted this gesture as a back-to-back win prior to the main event.
They also took the opportunity to congratulate her and they hope she gets the crown.
An Instagram user, Scelo Dlamini commented: “The current and the next Miss Universe.”
Siba Wilson commented: “Miss Universe 2019 meets Miss Universe 2020, manifestation station.”
Thina Mbuyisa said: “We’ve been waiting for this picture.”
