Zozibini Tunzi, the trailblazing South African beauty who won Miss Universe in 2019, was selected to judge the Miss Universe Vietnam 2024 finale. The announcement thrilled her fans both in South Africa and globally. Many praise her as “forever our Miss Universe” for her continued influence in the world of beauty and empowerment.
This is not Tunzi’s first stint as a pageant judge, having judged other major competitions, including Miss South Africa. However, the invitation to be part of Miss Universe Vietnam represents significant international recognition.
Tunzi herself expressed her excitement in a heartfelt message on social media. She said, “I am a champion of women, a huge fan of women who have a voice, and I cannot wait to see this calibre of women. She also shared her enthusiasm about visiting Vietnam for the first time, hoping to immerse herself in the country’s culture, according to OK Magazine.
South Africans have reacted with pride, flooding social media with messages of support.
One fan on Twitter commented, “No DNA, just SA.” Another said, “We brag differently in South Africa. Tunzi’s appointment is seen as another example of her continued influence, long after her reign as Miss Universe ended.
Many believe she has set a new standard for the role of a beauty queen, not just as a pageant winner but as a voice for women’s rights and empowerment. Tunzi’s journey from the small town of Tsolo in the Eastern Cape to the international stage continues to inspire, according to Youth Village.
After winning Miss Universe, she became a symbol of empowerment, promoting natural beauty and advocating for gender equality. She has consistently used her platform to uplift others. This made her a fitting choice to judge a pageant celebrating women.
Tunzi said she was eager to witness the incredible women who would take the stage in Vietnam.
“I cannot wait to be the judge, and I cannot wait to see the show,” she said in an Instagram post. Her fans are equally excited, with one saying, “I never watch Miss Universe Vietnam, but I’ll watch this one!”.
Tunzi’s appointment as a judge not only underscores her global appeal but also serves as a moment of pride for South Africans. Her participation in events like Miss Universe Vietnam further cements her legacy. She is one of the most iconic figures to come out of South Africa in recent years.
Her trip to Vietnam will surely be one to watch. Fans eagerly await her insights and the impact she will have on this prestigious competition.
