"It's a dream come true" - Breakfast with Martin Bester chats to Miss SA 2019
South Africans were overjoyed by Tunzi's win, hailing her as a role-model for natural African beauty.
On Friday, Miss South Africa 2019 was crowned, with Zozibini Tunzi walking away with the title.
Martin Bester called Tunzi on Monday morning to talk about the special crowning moment.
"I dropped to my knees - I hoped my reaction would be prettier," Miss SA 2019 said.
"I looked at my pictures and me crying is not the prettiest thing."
Martin Bester replayed the crowing moment to her and the listeners.
"Oh my goodness! - what a moment!" she reacted.
"It's a dream come true and my family is so proud."
Tunzi will be joining Breakfast with Martin Bester on Thursday, 15 August, for an in-depth chat.
