“I am overwhelmed; at the moment, it still feels surreal. I am deeply thankful to all the amazing people who have supported and uplifted me, I couldn’t have done it without them," said Lalela after her win, as reported by IOL.

Lalela Mswane's Miss Universe 2021 controversy: Mzansi's love or the crown?

Last year, Mswane made headlines when she decided to compete in the Miss Universe pageant, which was held in Israel. At the time, Mzansi citizens wanted her to withdraw from the competition because Israel was alleged to have committed cruel acts against the people of Palestine.

The backlash even caused the Department of Sports, Art, and Culture to withdraw its support for her.

As reported by News24, Lalela had responded to the backlash by saying:

"I'll never comprehend what I did to make people feel justified in their actions. You don't have to be for me, but you don't have to be against me. You don't have to, certainly, wish death upon me because I made a choice. I never initiated any war. This is way bigger than me. All I did was just pursue a dream of mine."
