Miss Universe Zimbabwe 2024 is Sakhile Dube


Pageant veteran Sakhile Dube was crowned Miss Universe Zimbabwe 2024 in a national competition held on Saturday, May 18 in Harare.

The 27-year-old fashion model from Bulawayo will now prepare to represent Zimbabwe at the Miss Universe 2024 competition in Mexico later this year.

Lisa Sibanda was named first runner-up while Ruvimbo Tafadzwa finished as the second runner-up.

This year's pageant marked the second edition since former beauty queen Tendai Hunda took over the Miss Universe license, 22 years after Zimbabwe last joined the prestigious international pageant.

Last year's winner Brooke Bruk-Jackson, the silver finalist in the Miss Universe 2023 "Voice for Change" challenge, passed the crown to her successor at the end of the event.

The new Miss Universe Zimbabwe is no stranger to pageantry, having joined Miss Earth 2022 in the Philippines and placed in the Top 8.

She also went to Miss Supranational 2023 in  Nowy Sącz, Poland where she earned a Top 24 placement and took home the Miss Supranational Africa 2023 continental title.

Sakhile is advocating for equal educational opportunities for orphans and vulnerable children.
