Since capturing hearts as Miss Universe 2019, Zozibini Tunzi has used her platform not just for glamour, but for impact. Known for her fierce advocacy for women’s rights and natural beauty, Zozibini continues to champion causes close to her heart—especially the fight against gender-based violence and the empowerment of African women. In 2025, she deepened her efforts with the expansion of her “HeForShe Conversations” series across Southern Africa.
The series, inspired by the global HeForShe movement, focuses on engaging men and boys as active allies in the fight for gender justice. Through candid conversations and community dialogues, Zozibini creates safe spaces where harmful gender norms are challenged, and accountability is encouraged. The goal is not just to speak up—but to spark real behavior change in homes, schools, and workplaces.
But Zozibini knows that dialogue alone isn’t enough. That’s why she paired these conversations with leadership development workshops designed specifically for young women across the region. These workshops help build confidence, teach advocacy skills, and create pathways into leadership roles in both civic and professional spaces. Her message is clear: ending violence against women must go hand in hand with elevating their voices.
Zozibini’s advocacy is deeply personal and powerfully public. She continues to speak out against inequality, never shying away from difficult topics. Her combination of poise and purpose has made her one of the most respected young voices in African activism, and she’s using that voice to inspire a new generation to stand up and speak out.
Through her work, Zozibini Tunzi is building more than conversations—she’s building a movement of shared responsibility, one where both women and men shape a future free from violence, full of dignity, and rich with opportunity.
