Proud Zulu girl: Miss SA treated like royalty when she met King Misuzulu

In more news about Lalela, Briefly News previously reported that Miss Universe runner-up Lalela Mswane made her way back to Mzansi and more specifically her home province of KwaZulu-Natal.

She was afforded the opportunity to meet the Zulu King, Misuzulu kaZwelithini and show him her new crown. The 24-year-old beauty queen met the Zulu king at the KwaKhangelamankengane royal palace the weekend she arrived.

Her visit to the royal family was part of her homecoming tour after she won Miss South Africa back in October 2021. The King said that he regarded Lalela as an ambassador for the Zulu nation and if he were able to he would take her on every trip, even overseas.
