Lalela Mswane wowed the judges and the audience in her question and answer sessions. As a young woman, she has shared her beliefs that everyone should be held accountable for their actions, whether they are young or old. She also goes on to say that everyone deserves a chance at redemption. Her message to young women of today was motivating as she advised women that they had everything in them to take over the world, and it was the world that had convinced them otherwise.
Lalela Mswane is the second runner up in Miss Universe
South Africa has received with much pride the achievement of Lalela from the pageant. It is an overwhelming win as she did it amid attacks from her fellow countrymen. Some South Africans were against her decision to participate in the Miss Universe pageant due to the political state of the host country. Despite the backlash, they were other individuals that publicly rooted for her, including her organization and fellow beauty queens.
For Lalela, who had a dream to compete in this pageant ever since she was a little girl, this is a dream come true. The beauty queen has told stories of being bullied because of her body as a child. Fans of beauty say that her name will go down in history as the bravest Miss South Africa ever because many before her did not face as many challenges in their reign.
