Can Demi-Leigh from South Africa be the next Miss Universe or Miss World?

Major crown favourite Demi-Leigh Nel-Peters was crowned as the winner of Miss South Africa 2017. The finale was held at the Sun City Superbowl. Demi-Leigh battled out 11 other contestants to claim the title of Miss South Africa 2017. She will now represent South Africa in Miss World and Miss Universe contests. If for some reason she can’t compete the one of the pageants, her runner-up will take over the duties. Demi-Leigh Nel-Peters succeeds Ntandoyenkosi Kunene as the new Miss South Africa.

Demi-Leigh Nel-Peters was a major crown favourite right from the start of the contest. She hails from Sedgefield and is a student of business management and entrepreneurship. She is also a model at Boss Models and Vision Management. At the event, same pageant, Adè van Heerden was declared as the first princess and Boipelo Mabe  was declared as second princess. Priyeshka Lutchman and Shané Naidoo completed the Top 5 court while Iman Mkwanazi, Nicole van Niekerk and Odirile Sepeng completed Top 8. Apart from crown and the sash, Demi-Leigh also received a cash prize, a car, an international holiday and other prizes in a package that exceeds 2 Million ZAR (equivalent to approximately USD 150,000).  .

Chances of Demi-Leigh Nel-Peters at International Pageant

Demi’s beauty reminds us of Rolene Strauss with similar goddess vibes. She already have international fans favouring her and will be an instant favourite to win the crown of Miss Universe or Miss World this year. However, we wish she goes to Miss Universe as we feel chances of winning a crown might be more compared to Miss World where we saw a South African winning the crown 2 years back. So this could be the only factor where we feel a little hiccup for her at Miss World. Otherwise, we don’t mind seeing her win either of the crown. What do you feel? Tell us.
