The final question that won Miss Universe South Africa the crown was: “What is the most important thing you should be teaching young girls today?”
She said – “ I think the most important thing we should be teaching young girls today is leadership. It’s something that has been lacking in young girls and women for a very long time, not because we don’t want to but because of what society has labeled women to be. I think we are the most powerful beings [in] the world, and that we should be given every opportunity.”
She won hearts with her powerful answer on leadership.
