Tunzi’s itinerary while she is in the country:
Family member Skunqu Gxididi says it will be a celebration of note. “There will be an imbongi. We will then be going to Esidwadweni for a family feast where everyone is welcome to join in to welcome her. There will be umnqusho, traditional meals and a braai. She has been to sophisticated restaurants, we just want her to enjoy her time with the family.”
Catriona Gray from the Philippiness crowned her successor at the Tyler Perry Studios in Atlanta, Georgia in the United States in December.
89 women from around the world took part in the competition.
