Melissa’s response was excellence personified. She redirected the question by not putting the entire responsibility on the youth; rather acknowledging the systems that exclude youth and diminish their voices. She then balanced it by speaking directly to youth to remind them of their responsibility. This moment moved me the way Zozi moved me at MU with her final question. I was certain that this stunning goddess with the grace and bone structure reminiscent of Joann Strauss, an eloquence, beauty and tone that echoed Zozibini Tunzi, a heart anchored in her advocacy like Shudu had certainly sealed her fate as the next Miss SA. Instead I watched her be nitpicked on Crown Chasers and witness a daylight robbery of epic proportions. This moment is a case study for the impossible standards Black women must uphold to only get a fraction (if any) of what is justly theirs. Melissa Nayimuli’s mission was greater than her and I’ll live to see her rise to epic heights globally. She is simply stunning, magnetic and a force!

Oh my god you are such an intelligent human being. Thank you for this analysis. I thought I was the only one that saw Melissa. as she is. She is Amazing and extraordinary, she is bigger than Miss South Africa. Nitpicking her was so unnecessary. This girl is an African Goddess and I am here to witness her next move.

Melissa deserved to place in the Top3. Her answer and delivery was powerful 👌

Melisa was cheated...you all saw how vividly she topped her question

I strongly blv that Melissa belong to top 3

Yea, the last contestant was robbed. She won that round hands down not only in the way she answer but also her poise and the way her thoughts flowed. Others sound more rehearsed she sound and looks the most natural. /Authentic.

I swear something went wong here. Melissa's response was realistic and and her advocacy would have definitely shifted the Miss SA scope of work. We haven't seen a miss SA doing impactful work in film and tv, Melissa was that girl.I respect the top 3 chosen but Melissa earned her spot and they robbed her so much. I want her to do Miss World

Melissa must represent Uganda. Miss South Africa has become a cooking show.

Melissa Nayimuli should’ve been Miss South Africa😢

She said increasing grants to minimum wage will solve poverty and inequality ? How ? People earning the minimum wage are also in poverty. And she said she wants to “ENFORCE” it, enforce it how?grant accessibility isn’t the problem, the problem is people don’t meet the minimum requirements for grants, even though they too need them,the requirements need to be relaxed, But even if they were it goes back to what I said,GRANTS will not alleviate poverty, or help inequality. The only way these things can be solved is by creating jobs and ensuring that these job opportunities are accessible to those that need it,she then also needs to answer how is she go into go about job creation, in a way that’s not currently being done Her answer is idealistic

At top 5 scores are not at zero because they also had been scored in crown chasers, also they had been voted for, so this means that even if your answer would get less scores in top 5 or top 3 Q&A, you could still win if you topped votes and crown chasers.

All the best answer

Melisa’s answer was watered down by the way Debbie’s question was premised: “take back our power, our country”. That was already giving away the reason why you encourage the young to vote. Debbie should have stopped at the what, how, and why. Debbie took away the why. Oh, why?

why they're so good at answering questions?

Ilove Nande she's very brilliant ❤

SA is home of Witty ❤

What the Miss SA did to Melissa is nasty, regressive & pure evil! What on earth was she snubbed for the top3,inspite of giving clearly the strongest,impact & comprehensive answer like hers, amongst them all? Surely this was done deliberately to path the way for Natasha to win? How does one explain this inexplicable nonsense? What is actually the objective purpose of the Q & A session if it holds no determining bearer to a potential winner? I so wish Mellisa would come back,with vengeance,next year. She was used as a sacrificial lamb!

Homba was the speaker of the group, i really thought she was going to kill Q&A, but i guess the nervousness got to her. Melisa on the other hand was definitely affected by her CrownChasers scores. I mean she was in the bottom 3 twice and was just dipping as the episodes went by. Natasha was just consistent throughout period.
