Miss Universe tells Zozi “You’re going back to SA”? Here’s what REALLY happened

You might’ve been minding your own business, Black Friday shopping when a video dropped showing Miss SA Zozibini Tunzi struggle with a wardrobe malfunction and being told she’s “going back to South Africa” by a Miss Universe official – who everyone probably hated for a minute.

YoTV presenter Katlego ‘Kat’ Ncala had Twitter up in arms when she posted a video captioned: “ZOZI DESERVES AN APOLOGY! How can a Miss Universe official tell her that she’s “Going back to South Africa” Zozi accidentally damaged a garment , but this isn’t how you treat people! Nah nah nah!!!!!! We want an apology for our queen.”

Black twitter threw its weight behind Zozi, defending her honour.

A tweep even said an apology wouldn’t suffice – but taking home the crown would 😆

But, as it turns out, Twitter detectives are on the ball, and called Kat out for her misinformation and upsetting SA over a partial clip.

So, here’s what really happened: The official said “you’re going back to South Africa,” but quickly told Zozi he was kidding and even mentioned calling former Miss Universe Demi-Leigh Nel-Peters for a chat about it. You can also hear Zozi’s equally lighthearted response: “Is it over for me?” 😅
