Ntsiki baffled by South Africans

-

JOHANNESBU­RG - Ntsiki Mazwai can’t wrap her head around how Miss South Africa 2021 Lalela Mswane was ‘seldom acknowledg­ed’ during her reign.

This after the 25-year-old was crowned Miss Supranatio­nal 2022 on Friday in Poland.

Ntsiki took to her Twitter timeline sharing her views.

“I want to (want to) understand why black South Africans don’t connect with Lalela ... It just didn’t happen,” she wrote.

“Now we don’t know if supranatur­al [supranatio­nal] is being used to sanitise Israel and further push white interest in SA ... Asazi ...”

Throughout her reign as Miss SA, Lalela has been compared to previous beauty queens and received backlash on social media for her taking part in the Miss Universe pageant in Israel in 2021, where she was second runner-up.

Anele Mdoda and other stars took to their timeline to celebrate her achievemen­t despite the hate she’s received online.

“You can see she has a great relationsh­ip with Miss Thailand! Ah man. What a year for Lalela and she simply rose above it all. I am so proud. I am in tears! I love watching dreams manifest and set the sky on fire,” Anele wrote.

“I can’t believe someone once tweeted that Lalela is the most mid-looking Miss SA we’ve ever had. I had to unfollow! Must’ve been crack!” Abigail Visagie wrote. When being crowned Miss Supranatio­nal, Lalela said she was grateful for the unwavering love and support she received from her fans she dubbed the Lali fans.

“I’m simply at a loss for words ... With this crown, I carry the hopes, dreams of women who have come before me and those to come. It serves as affirmatio­n that no dream is too small, no journey insurmount­able to conquer”
