Next stop? Miss Universe

While everyone was taking in Natasha Joubert’s Miss SA win, it was also announced that Bryoni — and not Natasha — would be entering the Miss Universe contest.

This is because Natasha, a former Miss Universe contestant, is not permitted to enter the pageant for a second time, as per the Miss Universe rules and regulations.

Opening up about this, Bryoni said that she was honoured to represent SA on the universal stage.
