TOP 5 WINNING QUALITIES OF A MISS 

UNIVERSE

Being a Miss Universe is not all about glamour, makeup or catwalks. The ball game is completely different from what it looks like. It’s about having a personality, great interpersonal skills and the courage to accept your true self and being comfortable in it.

I have invested lot of time in reading as well as hearing stories from previous year winners. Here are a few qualities enunciated by our current Miss Universe, Zozibini Tunzi to make it big in life.

 

1. Having a purpose in Life:

According to the current Miss Universe a person should always have a purpose in life. Zozibini said that everyday when she used to wake up, she had the urge to contribute to the society.

She always had a voice and was desperate to find a platform to amplify her messages of love, leadership and relatability.

 

 

2. Acceptance:

People should always remain themselves rather than trying to become others. When they accept themselves and learn to own up the positives and negatives of their personality, nobody can break their spirits. This is the first step to gain confidence. Zozibini showed the world that Africans should be comfortable in their own brown skin and hair. She believes that beauty has multiple faces and it should not be stereotyped or compartmentalized.

 

 

3. Preparation:

This is the most important part of the Miss Universe preparation. According to the exact words of former Miss Universe 2005 Natalie Glebova, “it is usually the most prepared girl that wins it all”. Women should stop waiting for destiny and leave no stone unturned in their preparations to win Miss Universe. They should master every aspect of their preparation be it the swimsuit competition, opening statement, final question and answer. They should be updated with the current affairs concerning the global community.

 

 

 

4. Personality:

Remember that a woman can always work on her catwalk turns, pacing, speed and coordination. She can also work on her knowledge by reading newspapers, books and journals. But what really matters is her personality, what kind of a person is she ?  This is something that she has attained  since the time she was born. It is the outcome of all her life experiences,  her nature and ideals that have moulded her outlook in life. It is important to be a good human being and help others with utmost humility.

 

 

5. Communication Skills and Interpersonal Skills:

This is often the most neglected part of the Miss Universe competition. We have seen countries like Colombia and Thailand making it to the top and barely missing the top and losing out in the final Question and Answer round. Mostly, this round tests the substance the women carry and primarily their speaking skills. The biggest challenge is to fully express one’s thoughts in an effective way to connect with the audience. This was the strongest part of Zozibini's preparation.

 

MISS UNIVERSE 2019 - ZOZIBINI TUNZI

MISS UNIVERSE 2019

Zozibini Tunzi was crowned on 8th December, 2019 as the Miss Universe , by the outgoing title

holder , Catriona Gray , at Tyler Perry Studios.

Her win brings South Africa its third Miss Universe title and she is the first black woman to be

crowned since Leila Lopes (Miss Universe 2011) of Angola. However, she is the first delegate in 


the history of the competition to be crowned in her natural, Afro-textured hair.

During the final round of the pageant, the top three contestants were asked:

 "What is the most important thing we should teach young girls today?"

To which Tunzi replied:

"I think the most important thing we should be teaching young girls today is leadership

It's  something that has been lacking in young girls and women for a very long time.

Not because we don't want to but because of what society has labelled women to be.

I think we are the  most powerful beings in the world and that we should be given every 

opportunity. And that is what we should be teaching these young girls to take up space. 

Nothing is as important as taking up space in society and cementing yourself . 

Thank you. "

PERSONAL REVIEW :

Honestly, this was a well-deserved win! Zozibini had all the qualities of a Miss Universe be it her

effortless charm, the "it" factor , her intelligence and the incredible communication skills.

 I literally had goosebumps listening to her final answer, lmao!

Even in the evening gown competition it was only Zozibini's gown that represented her nation


- the brown of  the South African soils and blue of the ocean bordering it.

 She had the courage to break the beauty stereotypes and embrace her individuality (her tanned 


skin and short hair).  Tomorrow a  young African girl, who aspires to conquer the horizons, and


lead a purposeful life , will be able to do so because she can see her reflection in this woman. 







Very few people know that Zozibini Tunzi had entered the Miss South Africa 2017 pageant but 


couldn't make it to the top. She returned again in 2019 keeping everything natural and simple, 


but with a complete transformation in terms of her confidence and preparation. 


Eventually she was crowned as Miss South Africa 2019 on women's day, forging ahead 


towards the glory of winning the Miss Universe title. This is a true example of 


life rewarding hard work , resilience  and  tenacity.
