As South Africa bands together to support our new Miss SA, some detractors believe that Zozibini Tunzi got more than she deserves.
Miss SA: Zozibini Tunzi takes on the Universe
Our beloved Miss SA is in Atlanta, GA, to take part in the Miss Universe pageant.
The world’s pageant queens will gather at the Tyler Perry Studios on Sunday, 8 December, to take part in the competition and South Africa has been rallying behind Zozibini Tunzi.
Flood the Twitter with pictures of Zozibini!

Your “ugly” is our beautiful! pic.twitter.com/iXe4wWXMMQ
In order for our Miss SA to be crowned the queen of the universe, the rules state that she has to “demonstrate authenticity, credibility and exhibit grace under pressure.”
Social media taught this troll a lesson
While we all believe that Zozibini Tunzi exhibits all the traits needed to win the Miss Universe contest, this tweep vehemently disagreed.
Zozibini will not win Miss Universe. That girl is ugly, she looks like a boy. She didn't even deserve to win Miss South Africa. Stop fooling yourselves!!! #zoziformissuniverse pic.twitter.com/52lCY1nRQ8

In a single tweet, the user barfed on the morale we have been channelling towards Tunzi.
Fortunately, Tunzi’s hive was on hand to give the troll the same energy she sent when she posted that nasty tweet.
Makes sense now… You hate Miss SA because she is dark skinned and beautiful. You believe if you are light skinned you are good looking by default and you can be Miss whatever because you are light… https://t.co/EiaOUnk7TE

I went through this account and this girlie hates dark skinned women especially when they’re successful. Nothing is cute about this lady. I hope you heal from whatever you’re going through. And oh, Zozi is still Miss SA and there’s nothing you can do about it ❤️ https://t.co/Kew5vUJtwQ

Shaming one’s appearance should never be condoned but at times — especially when the pot calls the kettle black — trolls must be taught lessons the hard way.
OMG! THE LIVER this chicken has for coming for our Miss Sa pic.twitter.com/Fb5vigeKpW
