Miss South Africa is somebody that represents your country on the world stage and people have a legitimate right to ask the question and she can answer the question. This doesn’t need to be dragged out and I’m saying, I’m a leader. The people that voted for me, when they ask questions, they put me there to ask those questions to ask on their behalf and that’s what I’m doing now.
