Sasha’s court also includes the crowning of Miss Universe South Africa 2019 Zozibini Tunzi after her stellar performance. The newly crowned queen will nor represent South Africa at Miss Universe 2019.
The coronation night was a grand affair as the reigning Miss Universe Catriona Gray and Miss Universe 2017 Demi-Leigh Nel-Peters were a part of the panel of jury. Miss South Africa 2018 Tamaryn Green crowned the new queen as her successor and now the pressure is on Zozibini to perform as well as her predecessor.
