Zozibini Tunzi (born 18 September 1993) is a South African beauty pageant titleholder who was crowned Miss Universe 2019. Tunzi had previously been crowned Miss South Africa 2019.
Early life
Tunzi was born in Tsolo, Eastern Cape and raised in the nearby village of Sidwadweni.[1][2] Tunzi later moved to Cape Town, settling in the Gardens suburb, to attend Cape Peninsula University of Technology, where she graduated with a bachelor's degree in public relations and image management in 2018.[3][4][5]
Prior to winning Miss South Africa, Tunzi was completing a Bachelor of Technology graduate degree in public relations management at Cape Peninsula University of Technology, and worked as a graduate intern in the public relations department of Ogilvy Cape Town.[6][7][8]
Pageantry
Tunzi began her pageantry career in 2017, when she was accepted as one of the top 26 semifinalists of Miss South Africa 2017, although she was not selected as one of the twelve finalists.[9] She returned to pageantry to compete in the Miss South Africa 2019 competition. Of the initial applications, Tunzi was selected to continue as one of the top 35 semifinalists after being confirmed as one on 26 June 2019.[10] After further auditions, Tunzi was announced as one of the sixteen finalists on 11 July.[5][11]
After being selected as one of the finalists, Tunzi went on to compete in the Miss South Africa 2019 competition in Pretoria on 9 August.[12] She progressed through the stages of the final, advancing to the top ten, then top five, and finally top two until she was crowned the winner by her predecessor Tamaryn Green, besting runner-up Sasha-Lee Olivier.[13][14] Following her win, Tunzi received prizes including R1 million, a new car, and a fully furnished apartment in the Sandton neighbourhood of Johannesburg, which is valued at R5 million, to use throughout her reign.[15]. The achievement allowed Tunzi to represent South Africa at the Miss Universe 2019 competition.[14]
