“I don’t even know where to start. My heart is filled with so much gratitude. I’m so appreciative. Thank you,” she said.
As the saying goes, the darker the Barry the sweeter the juice. Miss South Africa 2021 has proven that girls who look like ordinary girls can make it big in life, without any fear of contradiction. Lalela Mswane was crowned Miss South Africa 2021 at Grand Arena, Grand West in Cape Town.  From 2019 till to date, the beauty pageant has been taking a quite a different turn by crowning the least expected individuals according to what society beauty standards would expect.
The 24-year-old, Lalela Mswane from KwaZulu-Natal is a model and dancer and holds a Bachelor of Law qualification from the University of Pretoria. Â She received R1 million in cash, she also will be allowed to use a fully furnished apartment at central Square Sandton, and a Mercedes Benz C-class sedan to use while she is Miss SA.
“I possess the compassion, tenacity, leadership and people skills which render me a worthy title holder. With a willing heart, an open mind and an eagerness to learn and grow, it would be an absolute honour to reign as Miss South Africa 2021,” she told channel 24.
It seemed like the 24-yeare-old was already content with making it to the top three as she was quoted saying, “I really wasn’t expecting it, which is why I started crying. I was so shocked because I was already so fulfilled and blessed to have made top three. So, for me, this is genuinely just the cherry on top,” Lalela told Catriona Gray in an interview moment after being crowned.
