Miss SA Lalela Mswane brings home 2nd runner-up title from Miss Universe 2021: "You worked hard"
Earlier, Briefly News reported that Mswane was crowned the second runner-up at the Miss Universe pageant. Mswane, 24, received a ton of backlash from some South Africans for going to Israel to participate in the pageant.
Mswane was in the top five with Miss India, Miss Paraguay, Miss Philippines and Miss Colombia. Miss India won the coveted title with Mswane and Miss Paraguay bagging the runner-up titles at the event.
KZN's own Mswane seemed to have impressed judges at the pageant a few times as she stunned the audience with her 'Dove of Peace' national costume just before the weekend.
