One thing about beauty queen Ntandoyenkosi Kunene is that when she shows up, she rarely needs a dramatic entrance to steal the spotlight.
The Wits graduate and former Miss South Africa, who was crowned in 2016, recently stunned her Instagram followers with a wholesome photodump, her first post of 2026, and showcased her natural beauty.
"Easing into January."
Her post, which garnered nearly 5,000 likes, was a carousel with her makeup-free selfie, and included a bible scripture, a meme, a cup of coffee, and photos from the gym.

Like her caption, the post served as a perfect reflection of her state of mind for 2026: calm, centred, and focused on the quiet moments that bring her joy.
Back in November 2025, Kunene ended the year on a high note with the official announcement of her pregnancy, she also celebrated having her research journal published in Cogent Business & Management (Taylor & Francis Group). Briefly News also reported in July of that year that the beauty queen had gotten married in Limpopo and was now Mrs Radzuma.
Having previously been married to gospel singer Khaya Mthethwa, the couple's union ended in December 2019 after just two years together.
Despite both having found love again, Ntando's post was enough for several online users to revisit the couple's failed marriage, with her pictures receiving both praise for her natural beauty and criticism for her ex-husband.
See Ntandoyenkosi Radzuma's picture below.

Shortly after getting married to the pastor, Sine Ndlovu allegedly decided to clear her Instagram page of her racy photos, only keeping those where she was modestly dressed.
Her sudden change of heart raised questions among the online community, with some followers criticising her decision.
