Ntando Kunene to represent SA at Miss World
It has been two years since Rolene Strauss brought the Miss World crown home and now our Miss SA 2016, Ntandoyenkosi Kunene, will represent us on the same stage.
Thousands of South Africans have sent messages of support to Kunene ahead of the Miss World pageant, which takes place on the 18th of December.
This year's pageant will be hosted at the MGM National Harbour in Washington.
Current Miss World, Mireia Lalaguna of Spain, will crown her successor at the event and South Africans can continue to support Kunene by sending her messages on social media.

Growing up it was always my dream to be crowned Miss South Africa and I am thrilled now to be able to represent this country on the international stage. I will do my best to make our Rainbow Nation proud," Kunene says.
