The Miss South Africa 2016, 23-year-old Ntandoyenkosi Kunene from Mpumalanga has been crowned, to the delight of the crowd at Carnival City, Johannesburg on Saturday night.
Speaking for the first time as new Miss
SA in a video posted in the official Miss SA Instagram accout,
Ntandoyenkosi said, “I am so excited! I don’t know what to do with
myself right now.”
The Education Honours student
has said
she’ll use this opportunity to give back to the society, “To inspire
little girls like myself to have big dreams; to be a beacon of hope to
the hopeless and to encourage young women to work tirelessly towards
their goals, dreams and ambitions.”
The competition, for the first time, had
two rounds of elimination; four out the 12 finalists were eliminated in
the first round, and then 3 out of the remaining 8 contenders were let
off.
Tayla Skye Robinson was crowned the second princess, and Elizabeth Malopo got the crown of the first princess of the 58th edition of the beauty pageant.
Ntandoyenkosi will walk away with a whooping R2m in prizes which
includes a seven-night international holiday and cash, and a Nissan
Duke.
