“There will also be an imbongi. We will then be going to Esidwadweni for a family feast where all are welcome to join in to welcome her. There will be Umnqusho, traditional meals, a braai. She has been to sophisticated restaurants, but we just want her to feel free and welcome and enjoy her time with the family,” says a member of her family.
Miss Universe will also visit her primary school on Monday and attend the State of the Nation Address in Parliament on Thursday.
The support of South Africans has been echoing throughout the entire universe since the day that I won. I am so excited to finally get to feel it in person. I am hoping you can do me the honor of coming to help me welcome the @mouawadjewelry crown home. See you there ❤️ pic.twitter.com/JRFLkjsksA
