South African crowned Miss Universe
(CNS): Zozibini Tunzi (26) from South Africa was crowned Miss Universe 2019 at the beauty pageant in Atlanta Sunday night, beating 90 other women from across the world. Puerto Rico’s Madison Anderson was runner-up and Sofia Aragon from Mexico achieved third place. During her Q&A Tunzi said, “I grew up in a world where a woman who looks like me, with my kind of skin and my kind of hair, was never considered to be beautiful. I think that it is time that that stops today.”
Although there were no prizes for Kadejah Bodden from the Cayman Islands, the 23-year-old put up a classy performance in the preliminary contest, which saw beauty queens slipping on the wet stage in the swimsuit round and host Steve Harvey announcing the wrong winner in the national costume section.
While many of the contestants plumbed for extravagant carnival type outfits to represent their countries, Bodden, who came behind Miss Canada dressed as a ganja leaf, wore an elegant green dress and hat depicting the banana orchid.

I didn’t burn my bra for this shit!
We are in 2020 why do we still have beauty pageants and royal families? I truly thought we would be more progressive by now.
Real beauties wear no makeup. All participants, young females in their prime, are over-groomed and overdone.
“In their prime”
Although I am very glad she won because she is beautiful I don’t think beauty pageants are relevant in this day and age. Having an idiot like Steve Harvey host them just goes to prove my point.
I can’t believe in 2019, people are still supporting this garbage. Beauty pageants are a relic from the past, and a backward step for women and feminism in general. It reminds me of when farmers showed their prized cows at an agricultural fair for a blue ribbon. It sickens me that women are still treated this way. And I’m a man by the way.
6:54 I don’t think the women who enter these contests think that. There is nothing wrong with these pageants. If beauty wasn’t still important you wouldn’t have models. You are amusing that these ladies only assets is there beauty. That in itself is a demeaning thought.You can be beautiful and still have a variety of skills and talents. As a women I don’t see anything wrong with these pageants. Let these adult women take pride in their beauty (That being said i dont approve of child beauty pageants). There are other areas of the world lacking in female equality and rights. This is not one of them.
They cannot enter if they are married or have children. They must be single and childless. Not just about beauty – it’s still objectification.
Many competitions have certain limitations or restrictions. Why should this be any different?
I love Kadejah but her stylists did her wrong with that outfit…. a banana orchid wouldn’t even be close to what I think the dress represents… she looks more like a church lady… I guess religion is part of our culture so… lolllll
Way to go Miss South Africa … black IS beautiful.
Oh? And white is not?
They didn’t once just say white isn’t beautiful, they said black is beautiful because a black woman won, it’s not that deep. You’re just threatened by the fact that black people today are not falling for European standards of beauty anymore and are creating their own styles and setting their own trends, and killing it as I may say so myself!! Just leave if you can’t take this much black excellence..door’s that way!
So if I were to state “White IS beautiful” you’d have no issue?
There is enough beauty to go around. You can state whatever you want,
Calm down
You calm down. It’s people like you that keep racism alive
Who cares
Who cares?
Congratulations Miss Miss Tunzi! A very beautiful women. 🙂
Wait, she’s more than one?
Like I and I
Don’t dis de program
Say it aint so… a black south african…wow! :0
Still with the objectification? It’s 2020.
i need to see the swimsuit pics….
You need a life
Attitude sums up why these things are ancient, barbaric and primitive.
No one really cares about how well they answer a question. Women are just subjects of some random individuals’ opinions of beauty…
And that Neanderthal’s desire to see them in swimsuits. Can’t believe liberated women support this crap.
