Cape Town - In a video posted to Instagram Miss South Africa 2016 Ntando Kunene reflects on her Miss SA Journey.
"I had amazing time. I learnt to so much, I grew so much as a young girl and now as a young woman," she says in the video.
Ntando goes on to say, "I think what's important for any girl or young person to be very rooted in who you are and to remain grounded in who you are. But most importantly be confident in what you can bring to the table."
She captioned the powerful clip, "Growth is the most beautiful part of our life journey. The more uncomfortable we are, the more we grow and become who we have always wanted to be."
On Sunday night Demi-Leigh Nel-Peters won over the hearts of South African as she was crowned Miss South Africa 2017.
