One fan raised this with the popular Instagram gossip blog Maphephandaba, which further escalated things.

On their IG stories, the organisation had the previous Miss SA winners and not Zozibini Tunzi.

According to ZiMoja, one of the things that started the drama was the stylist being asked to invoice Zozi, whereas the Miss SA organisation hired them.

@JohnsonAwalle said:

"Apparently, it's about dresses, Miss SA "allegedly" refused to dress her for Sunday. and they turned her down last minute, but it's deeper than that I feel like it was a buildup."
