‘A literal queen’ – Bryoni embraces the people of El Salvador

A video of Miss Universe South Africa 2023 Bryoni Govender interacting with a few children in El Salvador touched the hearts of many social media users, with some feeling she is already deserving of the title, “Queen.”

Bryoni – an admitted attorney of the High Court – is currently in the Central American country of El Salvador for  the 72nd edition of the Miss Universe pageant.

Recently, the Instagram account @allthingsmisssa posted a heartwarming video montage of Bryoni and Salvadoran children who wanted to take a selfie with the South African beauty. Bryoni is later seen waving to the crowd from a balcony, which caught the attention of many Instagram users.

“Okay but the wave is perfection ?,” said one user of the app.

“That wave ?? it’s [as if] she grew up with the royal family because it’s so natural,” commented another.

Another person admitted, “My world came to a standstill when she waved ❤️.”

Another video posted on Instagram by the account @missuniverseza also showed Bryoni embracing a young girl before taking a selfie with her.

The video tugged many people’s heartstrings:

“My heart ????? I’m literally in tears. What an impactful leader.”

“Argh my heart ????.”

“I feel emotional ??.”

While one Instagram user defined Bryoni as “a literal queen,” another shared, “Being a queen is not just about wearing a crown, but about the grace and kindness in her heart and that is exactly who @bryoni.govender is ?.”

The Miss Universe pageant will air on SABC 3 at 03h00 on 19 November.
