Zozibini Tunzi is in Zimbabwe ahead of the Miss Universe Zimbabwe 2026 grand finale. The competition will be held in Harare on June 6.

Tunzi explained how important this pageant is. She noted that Africa is yet to produce a Miss Universe winner since 2019 and due for one. According to Tunzi, Zimbabwe could be the nation to get the Miss Universe crown.

“We haven’t had a Miss Universe from Africa in a little while now, since I was the last one. I think it’s time,” she said

Tunzi advises contestants to be real and stay true to their purpose. She told contestants not to forget why they are in the competition.

“I would honestly tell them to remain true to who they are. To remember their purpose because it is such a huge part of this journey, since it is such a challenging journey.

“And you need that one thing that constantly reminds you of why you are doing this,” she said.

By encouraging contestants to embrace their identity and by backing Zimbabwe’s contestants, Tunzi has warmed her way into the hearts of many. Pageantry lovers will be watching to see whether Zimbabwe can make history.  Zozibini Tunzi will hope to lead the celebration of African excellence from the front.

Kim Kardashian has given followers a look at her friendship with Lewis Hamilton after sharing a series of personal moments on Instagram.

One image showed Kardashian and Hamilton riding bicycles together in New York City. In a light-hearted video included in the post, Kardashian appeared to lose control of her bicycle while Hamilton attempted to film a selfie. The brief clip showed the pair in a casual setting and generated discussion online.

The post also featured a photograph of the two riding side by side, marking one of the clearest glimpses Kardashian has shared of Hamilton on her Instagram feed. While neither has publicly discussed the nature of their connection in detail, the inclusion of the Formula One star in a personal photo dump prompted discussion among followers.

Alongside the images with Hamilton, Kardashian shared photos with her children, family members and friends. The collection reflected a mix of everyday moments and behind-the-scenes snapshots, giving followers a broader look at what she has been doing away from red carpets and business ventures.

Media attention surrounding Kardashian and Hamilton has continued throughout 2026. Reports of the pair spending time together first emerged earlier in the year, with sightings in several locations, including Paris, Tokyo and major public events. Their appearances together have attracted interest, although both have largely avoided commenting publicly on their connection.

Hamilton’s appearance in Kardashian’s latest Instagram update is notable because it provides a glimpse of their interaction away from public events. Rather than showing the pair at a formal event or staged appearance, the images show them in a casual setting away from the public engagements that typically place them in the spotlight.

The post showed moments away from race tracks, television cameras and business meetings, offering followers a different perspective on two public figures whose professional lives are often documented in the media.
