Miss Universe South Africa Bryoni Govender left South Africa in a manner fit for a queen as she prepared to jet off to El Salvador for the Miss Universe pageant.
Taking place on 18 November, the 72nd edition of the international pageant will have the BONA October cover star up against over 90 women from other parts of the world.
On Instagram, the Miss South Africa page shared a video of Bryoni arriving at the airport in a luxurious-looking Maybach. The beauty queen was also shown surrounded by Destination by Frasers and Delsey Paris luggage and travel bags. Both brands are known for their quality leather goods.
