According to the Miss SA CEO Stephanie Weil, Mswane is being bullied by “a very small but extremely vocal group” of individuals. The Palestine Solidarity Alliance has accused Mswane of not caring about the plight of Palestinians and being “worried about her own self gains”.Weil likened Mswane with former Miss SA and later Miss Universe Zozibini Tunzi as a role model to young women.
