Ihlombe liqhamuke eSunBet Arena eTime Square, eMenlyn, ePitoli, ngesikhathi uQhawekazi Mazaleni oneminyaka engu-24, evela eGonubie eMonti (East London), eqokwa njengo Miss South Africa 2025 ngobusuku bangempelasonto edlule.
Umcimbi ube muhle kakhulu futhi ugcwele inhlonipho, njengoba ijaji lalinodumo lwaseNingizimu Afrika elihlanganisa uTamaryn Green (owayenguMiss SA ka-2018), uNdavi Nokeri (Miss SA ka-2022), uCindy Mahlangu (umlingisi nothisha wezindaba), uThebe Ikalafeng (uchwepheshe wokwakha imikhiqizo) kanye nosomahlaya wezindaba zokusakaza uHeidi Giokos.
Omunye wemizuzu ethokozisayo kube lapho uMazaleni ebuziwe umbuzo wokugcina, lapho ecelwe ukuthi achaze ikhono noma indlela yokucabanga angayisebenzisa ukukhuthaza intsha. Ephendula ngokuzethemba, uQhawekazi uthe:
“Kufanele uqale ngalokho onakho. Amathuba ngeke ahlale elula noma eze ngokushesha, kodwa uma usebenzisa amathuluzi nezinsiza onazo manje, ungakwazi ukwenza umehluko emphakathini wakho, kanye nasemphakathini omkhulu okuyo.”
Kulesi sigameko, uLuyanda Zuma, uwaziwa ngendima yakhe ku-Shaka iLembe, uphume njengomuntu wesibili (first runner-up), kanti uKarabo Mareka, owazalelwa e-Alexandra Township futhi ongumsebenzi wezindiza (flight attendant), ube ngumuntu wesithathu (second runner-up).
Ukuphumelela kukaMazaleni kufakazela ukuthi ukuzimisela nokusebenzisa amathuba akhona kungaholela empumelelweni enkulu. Abalandeli bakhe bamhlebele ngemibono emihle ezinkundleni zokuxhumana, bemfisela impumelelo njengoba eqala umsebenzi wakhe omusha njengoMiss South Africa 2025.
