Fast forward to 2017, our very own Mpumalanga born Miss South Africa 2016, Ntandoyenkosi Kunene, now needs your help by voting through online that begins today January 24.
The 23 year old Ntando-as she’s affectionally known is currently competing in the Miss Universe pageant, the finals of which take place in Manila in the Philippines on Monday, January 30.
The Bachelor of Education with Honours in Curriculum Issues graduate from Wits University, will compete with other 85 States, last won for SA in 1978.
Supporters can now vote for their favourite beauty queens by posting on Twitter (@MissUniverse) using the Miss Universe hashtag and the contestant’s country she is representing – so for example #MissUniverseSouthAfrica for South Africans voting for Kunene.
For those who don’t have a Twitter account, votes can also be cast #MissUniverse South Africa by visiting the website vote.missuniverse.com or by downloading the Miss Universe application (http://bit.ly/MissUApp) or the Vodi application.
Fans can vote up to 10 times per day per registered account. Voting closes on Monday, January 30 ahead of the pageant.
Comedian host Steve Harvey will host the show and will be broadcast live on the FOX Television Network from the Mall of Asia Complex in Manila.
The 2017 Miss South Africa Pageant will be staged in March, at its original home Sun City.
As a result, she also misses the SunMet taking place 28 in Cape Town.
So, lets get voting folks!
