The influence of former Miss Universe Zozibini Tunzi goes beyond the African continent. Recently a Sri Lankan doll artist who claims to be a big fan of the former beauty queen created a doll in honour of Zozi, in which she is clad in the Xhosa-inspired dress she wore at the Miss Universe 2021 handing over ceremony. But it turns out many South Africans are unimpressed about her work, claiming it looks nothing like their former beauty queen.
For many, the doll does not look like Zozi, let alone do they think it looks African. The doll’s facial features, especially its eyes were a big “NO” for many, with many saying they look Asian.
“But the eyes…………..say the doll was made in China,” one Tweep replied.
“The face is rather giving Jennifer Hudson playing mama Winnie Mandela,” another replied.
“Doesn’t look like her….no no no,” someone else wrote.
But others were of the opinion that the doll cannot look exactly like Zozi because it is impossible.
“Can anyone provide any previous proof of dolls looking excatly like who they are intended to look like. Growing up with action figures, I’ve never seen a doll that looks like the person. What exactly are people expecting here? Picture perfect DNA duplicate of Zozi?”
