    Miss Mexico Universe 2019 opined in speech that the judges are not looking for a model but a role model. Well, she almost got it right. The all-women judges of MU org were looking for a model and role model all-in-one and found it in Miss South Africa Universe 2019 whose tribal warrior-like beauty is indeed a better icon, in these times of widespread violent subjugation of women, than other beauties like Miss Universe 2011 and similar stereotypes. What’s more, Miss Universe 2019 could probably generate lucrative sponsorships from South African diamond companies to the obviously cash-strapped MU org — better than Miss Universe 2018 did from Philippine companies that proved more inclined to grant sponsorships to the 2019 SEA Games. Sincere congratulations, Queen Zozibini Tunzi!
