Sakhile Dube Eyes Miss Universe Crown
The countdown to the 73rd Miss Universe pageant has begun, and all eyes are on Zimbabwe’s very own Sakhile Dube, who is vying for the prestigious title. The event will take place on November 16, 2024, at the Arena CDMX in Mexico City, with global audiences eagerly awaiting the crowning of a new queen. For Zimbabwe, this pageant is more than just a competition—it’s a moment of pride as the country’s representative, Sakhile, strives to bring home the coveted crown.
Sakhile, who has gained immense popularity in the past few weeks, is widely regarded as a frontrunner in the competition. As the competition heats up, contestants from over 130 countries have gathered for intense rehearsals and boot camps. Sakhile’s journey to this stage has been marked by her determination, confidence, and poise. Since arriving in Mexico, she has captivated the global audience with her strong presence and impeccable sense of style.
At 28 years old, Sakhile is no stranger to the international modelling scene. In 2023, she earned titles such as Miss Supranational Africa and Supranational Top Model. Locally, she was also crowned Miss Earth Zimbabwe in 2022 and Miss Tourism Zimbabwe, further cementing her reputation as one of the country’s top models. Sakhile has undergone rigorous training to refine her walk, posture, and speech, with additional coaching in Italy and homegrown expertise in speech therapy.
Social media platforms have been flooded with messages of support for Sakhile, with many fans believing that she has what it takes to make history and possibly secure a top spot in the Miss Universe competition. As she stands out in the boot camp and in the eyes of international modelling experts, she is being hailed as “Africa’s front-runner.”
The competition to win the crown will be fierce, with countries such as Nigeria, South Africa, Botswana, Namibia, and others vying for the Miss Universe Africa title. Sakhile’s national costume, designed by Mandizera, has also generated considerable excitement, with predictions that it could make a significant impact at the event.
Sakhile has urged Zimbabweans to continue voting for her, as public support plays a crucial role in advancing contestants through the competition’s various rounds. With the Miss Universe crown up for grabs, Zimbabweans are hopeful that Sakhile will rise to the challenge and restore glory to the country’s modelling industry.
Miss Universe Zimbabwe officials are already in Mexico to support Sakhile as she prepares for the preliminary rounds and the grand finale. Tendai Hunda, the national director of Miss Universe Zimbabwe, expressed her confidence in Sakhile’s ability to make history at this year’s pageant, calling it a significant moment for Zimbabwe and the entire modelling industry.
As the competition draws closer, Zimbabwe stands united in its hope that Sakhile Dube will not only shine on the Miss Universe stage but also inspire the next generation of models and beauty queens across the country.
