When current Miss Universe Zozi Tunzi, 2017 Miss Universe Demi-Leigh Tebow (Nel-Peters) and Natasha Joubert (our current contender for this year’s Miss Universe) all stood on the Miss Universe stage together, people got beautifully emotional. Having so many South African women making us proud, and all being on one stage together, caused many South Africans to showcase their pride on Twitter. From saluting Zozi a soon-to-be farewell, to being in awe of Natasha, South Africans are beaming with pride for our country’s representation.
Heartfelt goodbyes to longest reigning Miss Universe, Zozi Tunzi
The last day of the longest Reigning Miss Universe in history!

Natasha supported in securing the back to back win
Other countries are going to start thinking we bribe these Miss Universe and Miss World comps, cause there’s no way SA keeps producing these gems, I feel like Natasha will take the crown. I pray she doesππ She’s gorgeous #NatashaForMissUniverse

The international community must be SO SHOOK at the beauty & consistency of South African women! Weβve shown racial diversity for the past 4 years at #MissUniverseSouthAfrica, producing 2 winners, 1 runner-up & another VERY STRONG front-runner in #NatashaForMissUniverse! πππ https://t.co/TL55109x4Z

Love for NatashaΒ
The moment she said “say hello to my home county, South Africa” the world stopped and took note, and my heart just skipped a beat.
