It was a sight for marvel as the African representatives of the Miss Universe 2016 dazzled in their preliminary opening outfits and our very own Miss SA 2016 stole the show in her traditional attire.
Looking fierce and gorgeous, Ntando stole the hearts of the judges as well as other African contestants in their different elegant attires.
The beauty to behold slaying on Miss Universe stage took to her social media account to thank her country for the love and support. She wrote:
“In a couple of hours I will be stepping into the biggest stage of my life. I am so thankful to each and every person that has made my journey one to remember and cherish.
To My amazing sponsors, thank you for making my preparation so smooth. I couldn’t have not done it without you.
South Africa, thank you for supporting and rallying behind me. While I’m here, I was not just Ntando but I was South Africa, that in it’s essence demonstrate that I am the window of my country.
I don’t know what tomorrow holds, but I rest knowing I have given this my 200%. The rest is up to the man above. I greatly believe that what is mine will not miss me, and what isn’t I pray to accept it.
To everyone that has supported me outside of South Africa. I appreciate you, you have went across your own borders to show me love.
Tomorrow is all about living in the moment… iNtandoyenkosi Mayenzeke ”
