How Chidimma’s Success at Miss Universe Linked to Her Fluent English- South Africans Respond
Many South Africans are attributing Chidimma’s impressive performance at the Miss Universe 2024 pageant to her command of English, which they say helped her stand out.
The reaction comes as a mockery of Pan-African leader Julius Malema, who faced a setback in the 2024 presidential election after advocating for open migration policies. In the wake of Chidimma’s placement, some are poking fun at Malema’s apparent disappointment that Chidimma, despite having a Nigerian background, advanced with what they perceive as a “more refined” South African accent.
In addition, some South Africans are comparing Chidimma’s looks to Zozibini Tunzi, the 2019 Miss Universe from South Africa, with many arguing that Tunzi is the more iconic beauty.
