The new Miss South Africa also did a photoshoot.
"I really wasn't expecting it, which is why I started crying (when I was crowned). I was so shocked because I was already so fulfilled and blessed to have made top three. So, for me, taking the title is genuinely just the cherry on top," Mswane says.
