It seems like Miss Universe, Zozibini Tunzi, was not lying when she said she is not perfect and there skeletons that social media can dig up from her Facebook posts.

The beauty queen was basically sending social media FBI agents straight to them following her video “defending” former Miss South Africa 2020 hopeful, Bianca Schombee. 





On Saturday, 30 May 2020, a hashtag started on social media saying #HandsOffZozi, after a single post from 2013 of her dissing dark-skinned girls’ opting to put on a blonde wig, weave or extensions. 

In her post out Miss Universe describes the final look as a Duracell battery… Deep!

But South Africans are making it clear that they are standing by our Miss Universe. Even Pearl Thusi took to Twitter to make it known that she firmly stands behind Zozi.

Considering the Queen Sono’s now carefully curated decision on when she posts and does not tweet, it is clear that she could not stand by and let trolls try and change our perception of one of South Africa’s favorite beauty queens.




Although she has not addressed the growing storm yet, Zozi has already apologized with her caption clearly saying, “Ngokuzithoba okukhulu, ndicela uxolo. From the bottom of my heart, I'm sorry.”
