Since her appearance at the 2024 Miss Universe pageant, Zimbabwean model Sakhile Dube has garnered significant attention on social media.
She just made the decision to announce on social media that she now has connections to South Africa.
Dube recently stated in an interview that she was pleased to be a Zimbabwean girl who was born and nurtured in Zimbabwe, according to The South African.
“I believe this debate was intended for fun, so let’s not get too serious about it! take pride in being 100% Zimbabwean, born and raised.
More than anything, this should encourage us to come together as Africans and support one another, as our names signify our unity,” she said.
Many internet users still thought she had some SA ties even after Sakhile Dube denied any links to the country. @joy_zelda verified that she wasn’t from here and pleaded with you to disagree.
“Miss Zimbabwe and Miss Nigeria are not South Africans; Sakhile Dube and Chidimma Adetshina don’t Represent us. They don’t know our culture or know how to speak our languages. Their parents were not born in South Africa. They are both foreigners whom we should not support as Miss Universel,” she wrote.
