"I am deeply thankful to all the amazing people who have supported and uplifted me; I couldn't have done it without them. I want to thank the organisers of Miss Supranational, the Polish people, all my fellow contestants, the Miss South Africa Organisation and my South African fans. This title is not mine alone; it is South Africa's victory," said the law graduate.
Miss South Africa Organisation CEO Stephanie Weil said:"We are incredibly proud of Lalela, and she really deserved this win. It is a victory for her and South Africa, and we can't wait to see what she is going to achieve on the international stage."
