Demi-Leigh Nel-Peters to return to SA
Demi-Leigh Nel-Peters is set to return to SA for a week long celebration. This comes two months after she clinched the Miss Universe crown.
Itinerary
Demi-Leigh will land on 24th January, and will be welcomed home with parties at OR Tambo, Cape Town International and street parade in Sedgefield, where she grew up.
“I can’t begin to express my gratitude and how proud I am to represent our country as Miss Universe. Being a global ambassador is as much a responsibility as it is an honour. Our nation is comprised of many different backgrounds and cultures, one of the many things that makes me immensely proud to be a South African. I am very excited to celebrate this achievement with my people in the spirit of Mzansi,” she said.
Demi-Leigh will also visit victims of the Knysna fires and will host workshops in Soweto and Cape Town.
She has been using her new platform to spread the message of her campaign, Unbreakable. The campaign aims to empower and train women on how to handle life threatening situations including assault, toxic relationships and sexual harassment.
During her visit, Demi-Leigh will host Unbreakable workshops in both Soweto and Cape Town with members of the community.
Since becoming the second South African to be crowned Miss Universe after 39 years, she has moved into a fancy New York apartment. She keeps to fly the country’s flag higher.
