Footage of Miss South Africa Zozibini Tunzi, who left the country this week for the Miss Universe Pageant, has surfaced showing what could have been a questionable scene at the rehearsal phase of the Miss Universe pageant.
The video shows Tunzi attending to a garment, muttering that it may have got caught on something at the beach.
A man jokingly tells Tunzi: “You’re going back to South Africa…” and sarcastically tells Tunzi that he would report her to Demi-Leigh Nel-Peters.
Full video of the incident. Her dress got caught in something and they were trying to fix it. He jokingly said he’s going to report the incident to Demi Leigh shortly after they hugged ❤❤❤ https://t.co/6JtsBOe8Zo pic.twitter.com/LXxb263aBJ

Exact details around the incident are still unknown, although the footage has prompted a reaction on Twitter streets for people who only saw the short version of the footage and not the full footage ending in laughter.
Some on social media have even demanded an apology from the Miss Universe pageant, clearly unaware of the entire context in the footage.
