Zozi Tunzi, former Miss Universe and Miss South Africa, has been tried by the court of Twitter opinion, and it all stems from her association with disgraced doctor Nandipha Magudumana.
The beauty queen is a client of the aesthetics doctor, and they may be seen together on the latter’s Instagram account.
Nandipha is accused of being a co-conspirator in the 2022 jail breakout of claimed boyfriend Thabo Bester. She has been legally charged with aiding and abetting a criminal, obstructing justice, and murder!
During her year of reign as Miss South Africa, Zozi Tunzi became a regular at Nandipha’s Sandton business Optimum Medical Aesthetics Solutions.
The celebrity business was an official sponsor of the Miss SA pageant.
“I grew up in a world where a woman who looks like me with my kind of skin and my kind of hair was never considered to be beautiful.” As your aesthetic physician I am so proud to witness you break those stereotypes and shackles towards #brownskingirl #MissUniverse2019 pic.twitter.com/sTqKTWvboh

It also appeared that Nandipha had been on friendly terms with Zozi, as seen in multiple IG and Twitter posts praising the pageant winner.
In one IG post, the medical professional even alluded to being Zozi’s confidante. She shared: “I knew this day would come…I would spend many nights explaining why this night was yours”.
“I write this with tears in my eyes. I remember when people said we were never going to make it, I would say watch! Look at God! I am unsure if you will ever understand how proud we are.”
Under one particular post, Zozi replied to Nandipha, commenting: “Even today you are still one of the best people I have met in my Miss SA journey. I think that you are phenomenal. Thank you so much”
However, Zozi has remained mum on their relationship – if any – following the bombshell allegations surrounding Nandipha and Thabo Bester.
Meanwhile, Twitter users continue targeting anyone associated with Dr Nandipha – including Zozi Tunzi.
Here’s what a few had to say:
@zeewa2c: “Our beautiful Zozi has been tainted. She was touched by the evil Dr Nandipha.”
@GMabumbulu: “Zozi, why are you not calling out Dr Nandipha? Your silence is defining.”
@LesibaFannie: “She must also go for questioning.”
Others claimed that Zozi – like the public – was completely in the dark about Dr Nandipha…
