Miss South Africa Crowned 2019 Miss Universe

The massive competition was hosted at Tyler Perry Studios in Atlanta where Zozibini Tunzi was crowned Miss Universe on Sunday night after excelling through rounds of swimsuit and evening gown struts, questions on social issues and one final chance to explain why she was the right choice.

She said in her last response, “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 it is time that stops today. I want children to look at me and see my face and I want them to see their faces reflected in mine,” Tunzi claimed.

The two runners-up for the crown were Miss Mexico and Miss Puerto Rico.
“If you do not use your beauty for your life’s mission, it’s just an empty ornament,” Sofía Aragón, representing Mexico, said earlier in the competition.

Anderson said, “Being on the Miss Universe stage is not just a dream, I believe that I found my mission. It’s a representation of dedication, resilience and perseverance. I do believe my mission is to show the world that magic happens when we refuse to give up because the universe always listens to a stubborn heart.”

Harvey hosted the pageant for the fifth time sporting a bedazzled green and gold suit jacket.

He was commenting on a costume from earlier in week and said Miss Philippines won the National Costume Contest. But the woman standing next to him said she was Miss Malaysia.
