Miss SA to compete for Miss Universe
January 9 2017 – MISS SA Ntandoyenkosi Kunene will be competing in the Miss Universe pageant, which takes place in Manila in the Philippines on the 30th of January.
Kunene who took part in Miss World in the US last month will be leaving the country on Wednesday (tomorrow) to represent Mzansi against 85 other countries.
“I learn’t a great deal from taking part in Miss World and I am really looking forward to the Miss Universe pageant and to meeting the other contestants from all over the world,” says the beauty queen.
The University of Witwatersrand graduate was crowned Miss South Africa 2016 at a glittering ceremony at Carnival City.
The Miss Universe Pageant will be broadcast live on the FOX Television Network from the Mall of Asia Complex in Manila when Pia Wurtzbach of the Philippines will crown her successor at the end of the event.
It will be hosted by comedian Steve Harvey, who made headlines around the world at the last Miss Universe competition when he announced the wrong candidate as the winner.
The pageant, which started as a marketing competition by California company Catalina Swimwear in 1952, has evolved over the past 64 years into an annual tradition celebrating intelligence, poise and beauty.
Miss SA Margaret Gardiner took the title in 1978 and other African winners include Miss Namibia, Michelle McLean in 1992; Miss Botswana, Mpule Kwelagobe in 1999 and Miss Angola, Leila Lopes in 2011.
