JAKARTA - The Miss Universe 2019 event has just ended. The most prestigious beauty event in the world pinned its crown on a female representative of South Africa (South Africa) named Zozibini Tunzi.

Zozibini Tunzi's victory certainly makes the people of South Africa proud. Because this is the third time for South African women to wear a tiara on their head, after Demi-Leigh Nel-Peters in 2017 and Margaret Gardiner in 1978.

Reporting from The South African, Zozibini was the first contestant to be called upon during the top 20 announcement. During the last 3 round, Zozibini answered questions so smoothly and confidently. At that time he was asked what to teach young women today.

"I think the most important thing we have to teach young girls today is leadership. It is something young girls have been missing for a long time. Not because we don't want to, but because of what society labels women should be like. "I think we are the most powerful creatures in the world," explained Zozibini, quoted from ABS-CBN Entertainment.

As a closing sentence, Zozibini conveyed words that not only amazed people, but also inspired.

"I grew up in a world where a woman like me, skin color like me, and hair like me were never considered beautiful. And I think that presumption is gone today. I want the kids to look at me and see my face and I want to see their faces are reflected on mine, "said Zozibini.

Zozibini is also known as an activist who often calls for women's rights and gender equality. He is with HeForShe, the United Nations organization that encourages men to fight with women for gender equality. Zozibini asked South African men to write messages of support to women, which were printed on a piece of ribbon.

"She (Zozibini) really likes campaigning via social media to change narratives related to gender stereotypes. She is an advocate who prides itself on natural beauty and encourages women to love themselves for who they are," the Miss Universe page said describing Zozibini.

Zozibini teaches all women that you should never doubt yourself, let alone consider yourself not beautiful. Fellow women should support each other because women have a unique power in this world.
