Zozibini Tunzi is presumed to be in a conflict with the Miss South Africa organizers.
The star won the Miss SA crown in 2019 and Miss Universe in 2019; she made history as the longest reigning queen of both pageantry, which was caused due to the pandemic in 2020.
On Sunday, it was noticed that the 29-year-old was not in attendance at the Miss SA 2023 which was graced by past reigning queens and celebrities from across the globe.
It was further observed that she removed the Miss SA title from her bio, which raised many eyebrows as past reigning winners like Liesl Laurie and Ndavi still have the titles on their bio.
This triggered worry in the minds of South Africans, as many are curious as to what must have tainted the relationship between Zozi and the pageantry organizers.

Zozibini Tunzi is bigger than the Miss SA organisation.

Rather than attend the event, Tunzi was at the L’oreal Paris event in SA, which was to celebrate their partnership with Thuso Mbedu.
