1 GAMES OF THRONES ANYONE?

Zozibini loves Game of Thrones. I wonder how many people in South Africa watch Game of Thrones?

2 MARVEL UNIVERSE ALERT!

She is hard core fan of the Marvel Universe. Has she been a fan since a young girl? Or did she come across The Black Panther and fell in love with Wakanda? Black Panther was a smashing hit in the box office in South Africa.

3 SHE’S A MILLIONAIRE!

Zozibni started her pageant career at the age of 25 but has been killing it on the runway for a while. She left the audience in awe while on the runway of New York Fashion Week this past September. Zozibini was wearing the styles of luxury Eastern Cape designer Laduma Ngxokolo on the runway showing off her Xhosa style.

The South African interviewed the CEO of Miss South Africa pageant, Stephanie Weil, who said that “Tunzi was ‘exceptional’ in realising a cherished dream of being part of one of the biggest events in fashion… ‘It was the fulfillment of a dream for her, and also the showcasing of the best of southern Africa, letting the fashion world know that we are players who need to be taken seriously on the international stage.’” Zozibini is a testimony that dreams do come true as long you have faith and be consistent.

She is an activist and is passionate about ending gender-based violence. Zozibini has dedicated herself to combat the negativity of domestic violence against women in her community. She has dedicated a social media campaign to help end violence against women with men stepping up as allies. The Miss Universe winner said she hoped to change the perception of gender-based violence. Zozibini said, “Women are constantly being taught how to defend themselves against attack from men. I would like to shift the perception. I want to say that that responsibility should no longer rest on the shoulders of women alone. I want the men of our nation to stand and take a stand against gender-based violence.” Agreed Miss Universe men should stand up and take a stand for women in need!

I’m asking the people of South Africa to be part of the fabric of my Miss Universe National Costume by writing love letters that pledge support for the women of this country. It is my hope that these pledges will start, and continue a conversation around gender-based violence. We have to start the narration where right-thinking people act as role models for those who think it’s okay to mistreat women. That’s my aim with my campaign. To be part of my #MissSALoveLetter, make your pledge by visiting www.heforshe.org and share your message of love to the women of South Africa on Twitter and Facebook. By using #heforshe and #MissSALoveLetter as well as @official_misssa and @zozitunzi, your message of unity will be seen by the Universe.
