The footage resonated strongly with South Africans, who praised her for staying grounded and continuing to serve in the public health sector despite her new-found high-profile title.
SA reacts to the heartwarming clip
The post quickly drew thousands of views, with fans flooding the comments section to share their thoughts. Here is what some had to say:
@PROWESSSibz said: "And I saw the hospital staff celebrating her yesterday ❤️"
One user, @Driza84, took the opportunity to draw a pointed contrast with Miss World Nigeria, Chidima: "What does Chidima do for Nigeria and their Mrs? She doesn't live there, we don't hear of any work she does with women and children in Nigeria or anything! She's just flown there, got handed the crown and the winnings and LLleft!!!😩🥹"
@piesangs28 gushed: "We claim her... Come on, SA, this one is clearly ours. For love of homeland."
The reaction online reflects just how much South Africans appreciate a beauty queen who puts her skills to work in the community, rather than stepping away from public service after landing a title.
