"So much drama, Miss SA."

"I find it strange that all these certain allegations happen during the top 16/10, and I ask myself why they don't report the bully before they compete. You knew the finalist were entering when they made their entry videos, but said nothing now that they are selected, that’s when you wanna bring down someone? People need to learn to speak up early coz now we might not even care about those allegations and end up moving on coz we can’t have year in year out stories off bullying ayyy no man and given that we see this every year, once you accuse someone we might not even believe you coz question will be, why wait for them to be at the Top? And to be honest, as a person, those behaviours also make you look like a bully too."
Donaldnkomo responded:
"Come on, team. Not every year!"

"Every year same story, you should tighten your screening and interview questions."

"At this point, this is boring, every year. This Kaylan's one is so forced and out of jealousy, because she had entered Miss SA and didn’t make it."
