Miss South Africa 2017 Demi-Leigh Nel-Peters has been crowned Miss Universe, becoming the first Miss South Africa to take this prestigious title since Margaret Gardiner won in 1978.

At the pageant, held in Las Vegas in the US, an ecstatic Demi-Leigh competed against 91 contestants from around the globe – the biggest number of entrants in the history of the competition – and justified the faith thousands of South Africans had that she would win.

Runners-up were Miss Colombia (first princess) and Miss Jamaica (second princess).

During her time as Miss South Africa, Demi-Leigh launched her highly successful Unbreakable campaign to empower thousands of young girls and women throughout the country, by teaching them skills on how to handle difficult situations like hijackings, muggings, robberies and toxic relationships. 
She partnered with specialists to give women the necessary knowledge to be able to handle any unwanted situations. She held six workshops around South Africa and has said she would like to promote this campaign internationally.

Demi-Leigh wowed both the judges and the audience in a sheer flesh-toned, long-sleeved hand beaded dress by Anel Botha. It was inspired by the constellations and consisted of 50 000 hand placed Swarovski crystals which took a team of eight people 168 hours to complete.

The Miss Universe pageant was hosted by Steve Harvey and Ashley Graham. Judges for the finale included Wendy Fitzwilliam (Miss Universe 1998 from Trinidad and Tobago); Jay Manuel (TV host, creative director and makeup artist); Ross Mathews (TV personality); Megan Olivi (Fox Sports 1 host and reporter); Lele Pons (Vine and YouTube personality) and Pia Wurtzbach (Miss Universe 2015 from the Philippines).



Before she was crowned Miss South Africa, Demi-Leigh had completed her B. Com in business management and entrepreneurship and was a part-time model.

Demi-Leigh's father and stepmother Bennie and Elzabé Peters and mother and stepfather Anne-Mari and Johan Steenkamp were in the audience and were overcome when Demi-Leigh's name was announced.

"Demi-Leigh has worked incredibly hard for the past few years to achieve this goal and we are all so proud of her," said a tearful Elzabé.

It was a sentiment echoed by Sun International PR Manager Claudia Henkel: "We at Sun International are very proud of Demi-Leigh. It has been an exciting few years for us, as the licence holders of Miss South Africa, as we have had two international pageant winners crowned. First with Rolene Strauss winning Miss World and now Demi-Leigh as Miss Universe. She is most certainly going to make South Africa proud."

The 2017 Miss Universe pageant will be screened on Vuzu (DStv Channel 116) on Tuesday, November 28, at 20h00 and Saturday, December 2, at 15h00.

"I Had Cancer, Was Given 2 Months To Live, Jesus Healed Me"

Posted: 27 Nov 2017 12:30 PM PST



Yvonne Ebadan Ogbefua a Nigerian woman posted on her Instagram page, how she was miraculously healed by God of Sacorma, a form of cancer that attacks the soft tissue which knocked her down.

According to her who also celebrated her birthday, she was given just two months to live, but after the words of her Father in the Lord Bishop David Oyedepo came to her heart; 'WHAT EVER MY GOD CANNOT DO, LET IT BE UNDONE', she believed and got her healing.

Below is the account of her story;
"Happy birthday to me.its my testimony. Roughly four years ago,I was diagnosed with a form of cancer that attacks the soft tissue.its called sacorma.it started as a very small lump just by my right side in my stomach region.i was on drugs,but it grew by the day.Then chemotherapy was introduced. This treatment was said to be an aggressive form of treating cancer.but instead, I will say, it fed this,and made me weak.Then the dosage was increased.my oh my!! I became too weak to even stand or sit.Was I praying all these while?yes! To the intent I taught God has gone on vacation.



Then the bomb came.YVONNE YOU ONLY HAVE TWO MONTHS TO LIVE. I rejected it instantly! That was not what my father said to me in Isaiah 65:20.I didn't have to tell nobody the news.The only people who heard,were the ones in the room with me.i didn't have to cry over it, cause it wasn't even my portion. Then, my elder sis called me one day.she said something that I will never forget.she said you're still relying on medicine Yvonne,until you make God your only source of help,you won't move him.That night I knelt down and cried,I said Lord,have mercy on me.medicine has failed me.Then the words of my Father in the Lord Bishop David Oyedepo came to my heart.WHAT EVER MY GOD CANNOT DO,LET IT BE UNDONE.I put my" WHOLE"trust on him.

Hallelujah Jesus the master healer showed up for me.now listen.After I praised him,and dance so much in my heart cause I could barely do it physically,I received a message from the head surgeon in France telling me they could now operate .less I forget,she once said the operation was impossible cause the tumor has grown so big and I was 2 weak.Tumor weighted 7kg.12 doctors,10hrs of operation.Jesus gets the praise.Now to the interesting part! My 6mons follow up,on seeing this same doctor,while reading my file.she said,THIS IS NOT POSSIBLE!!! who did this operation?Surprised me,i looked around to be sure she was referring to me,cause I was in her office with her secretary and her.25 cm? she was corrected by her secretary 32cm. she screamed Wow!! Who did u say did this? In my heart I shouted Jesus did! One year six months of been sick, was like 16 years. PT 1″


Congratulations Yvonne.

Festus Fadeyi’s Children Warn Toke Makinwa: "Leave Our Father Alone”

Posted: 27 Nov 2017 01:36 AM PST



• Children rue bankrupt father's reckless spending on celebrity broadcaster

Even the most formidable nobility in the world transforms into a lady's fool, when caught in the pleasure trove of love. You can tell what effect billionaire, Festus Fadeyi's romance with OAP, Toke Makinwa, has on his family by his children's unfathomable misery and bitter reaction to their relationship. Toke arouses despise from Fadeyi's children.

That is why they desperately seek her exit from their father's life. Like angry runts seeking to fall a veteran gladiator, Fadeyi's children tirelessly engage in never-ending plots to extricate their dear father from the perceived web of Toke's allure.




At first, their fears were deemed unfounded by family friends, close and distant relatives, but ever since their father completed his sprawling mansion in Ikoyi, the children have become very worried about the possibility of seeing Toke hop in the master bedroom with their father. Fadeyi's children are very angry with the way he splurges on his love interest, Toke. They believe he is squandering too much money on her at a time he is heavily indebted to Skye Bank.

Recall that the well-heeled founder and CEO of Pan Ocean Corporation, an indigenous independent oil firm, acquired a multi-billion naira loan from Skye Bank. His indebtedness to the bank is estimated at N196 billion few months ago.




Notwithstanding, Fadeyi spends extravagantly on Toke. For instance, he allegedly bought her a brand new Range Rover 2016 model worth over N50 million. He is also responsible for her acquisition of top of the line and very expensive designer bags, shoes and apparels. From Louboutin, Bottega, Chanel, Louis Vuitton to Hermes among others, Fadeyi spoils Toke silly with the most pricey ware.

Thus the world's most expensive designer brands are mere names on Toke's list. The popular social media big girl considers Selfridges and Harrods as ordinary shopping points at the moment,. Whenever she visits London, United Kingdom (UK) via business class or first class flights paid for by Fadeyi, she spares no expenses at the city's posh shopping points.




It is very interesting to note that Fadeyi foots such outrageous bills for Toke while he wallows in loan debt to his bank. What Fadeyi's children find alarming however, is Toke's continual neglect of her lover's precarious financial situation.

Consequently, they have declared war against her, warning her to leave their father alone. Frightened by the undisguised animosity, Toke has resorted to extreme measures to avoid their wrath or unpalatable encounters with them. For instance, she now tries to steal around town incognito by covering her vehicle's number plate with leather.
