Miss Universe returns for her home on 8 February

Miss Universe 2019, Zozibini Tunzi will be coming back home on Saturday,  8 February.  Gautrain is offering free rides to those who wish to welcome her at OR Tambo International Airport.

The free trips to the airport will be between 6.30am and 8am on from Park, Pretoria, Midrand and Marlboro stations.  Then, from 9am to 11am, you will also be entitled to a free trip back to these stations from the airport.

Simply look for the Gautrain personnel at the fare gates and state the passcode #GautrainTookMeThere to receive an armband.  “This armband will entitle you to ride the Gautrain to the airport on 8 February 2020 to give our amazing Zozi a homecoming fit for a queen, and then back again. No armband, no free trip,” said Gautrain in a statement.

“Please note that only those who are not carrying luggage (in other words, not flying out from the airport) may take advantage of this limited promotional offer.”

The support of South Africans has been echoing throughout the entire universe since the day that I won. I am so excited to finally get to feel it in person. I am hoping you can do me the honor of coming to help me welcome the @mouawadjewelry crown home. See you there ❤️ pic.twitter.com/JRFLkjsksA
