Zozibini Tunzi claps back at Twitter troll
She might be a queen but that doesn't mean she's going to keep her opinion to herself.
Wearing the Miss Universe crown can be a heavy burden.

The woman who carries it also carries a lot of responsibilities and has to represent herself a certain way.
When addressing her 520,000+ followers on Twitter, she has to choose her words carefully.

But she is still going to defend herself and speak up when she feels like it.
After she took to social media to congratulate her Miss SA successor, Shudufhadzo Musida, another user had some very negative things to say.

Instead of celebrating her win, he chose to focus on the fact that Tunzi encouraged women to chose their own, natural hair above weaves.
But Tunzi would have none of it and had the most perfect response:
It's actually not about that. It's about autonomy. The ability of women expressing themselves however they choose to. It's about saying we are all beautiful in our natural hair and in weaves for those who choose to. It's not a competition but a celebration of ALL Women❤ https://t.co/YQsO4Z9y2l

...a weave hater.

I'd never bash anyone or bring them down on purpose, I wasn't raised that way.
I thought I was just making an innocent joke. Not knowing that people would be offended.
I like 2 joke, I'm sorry that I didn't draw a line when joking
