The newly crowned Miss SA Shudufhadzo Musida should be basking in the light of her victory.
But instead of celebrating the conclusion of her homecoming tour that saw her visit Limpopo and her hometown of Ha-Masia, the University of Pretoria graduate has had to deal with negative comments that flooded our timelines during the Weekend.
If the online trolls affected her in any way, Musida did not let it be seen; instead, he chose to ignore it and radiate the warm welcome he received from fans back home.
I love you so much gugu❤️🕊 pic.twitter.com/20EO4FpNYH

But it was inevitable that the comparisons between her and current Miss Universe Zozibini Tunzi would eventually come to light and manifest on Twitter.
Tribalism among South Africans is exhausting, the hatred Miss SA feels comes from the same group of people who undermine other tribes.

I am not a salesman and I love Shudu very much. I understand why others might not because it is all subjective. This tweet sucks, because you’ve shown exactly why other tribes are being undermined. It is the feeling of pity for yourselves, hayi maaan, walk high yho.

From playing the tribalism card to accusing Musida of being arrogant, the tweeps made their views very clear.
Lol I really broke up here 🥺😍 https://t.co/cYO4vYnkPG

Don’t tell me you don’t know all these people who think they are high up and will never relate to you. Only a few know where they come from.

Despite the negative comments, fans showed their support for the beauty queen.
Local actress and author Bonnie Mbuli responded to the hate with: “Nithi, what is your real problem with our Miss SA? I can’t really understand how basic your level of reasoning must be to support tribalism … but the other problem could be that people have spent so much time aspiring to a standard of beauty so alien to their actual appearance … “
… That seeing other black women in their most natural state winning acclaimed beauty pageants is a personal threat to the investment they have made to see themselves as far from black as possible.

Bonang Matheba also expressed her support with a strong “we have you …”, prompting Musida to respond with “I love you mom”.
we have gotchu … ❤ @abigailmusida

It is not the first time that Tunzi has faced her fellow Miss SA winners. Previously, tweeps had issues with their predecessor Sasha-Lee Olivier. From embarrassing Olivier to suggesting she was pregnant, trolling became a constant throughout her reign.
