Ndavi Nokeri, a 23-year-old from Tzaneen in Limpopo, is the new Miss South Africa.
She was crowned at a glitzy ceremony held on Saturday night at Time Square’s SunBet Arena in Pretoria, taking over the reins from now-Miss Supranational, Lalela Mswane.
During the question-and-answer session, when asked what the most important thing is to keep the unity of our nation, the BCom Investment Management graduate said history is the greatest teacher.
“To know where you are going, you need to know where you come from,” Nokeri said.
“Being a nation that comes from a history of a past of racial segregation, we know that when we were divided, we were at our weakest.
“So as Miss South Africa I would implore us to stand together and embrace every single culture, gender, race and sexuality because in our diversity we are strong.” – Staff Reporter
