Speaking to Miss South Africa 2019 Sasha-Lee Olivier felt like catching up with a good friend, rather than a typical celebrity interview.
From complimenting me on my makeup to asking questions about my career and interests outside the office, Sasha-Lee radiated kindness, empathy for others and positive energy throughout our 20-minute Zoom video call.
Channel24's Local News Editor, Graye Morkel spoke to Sasha-Lee about executing her reign during a global pandemic, why she fought back after being publicly body-shamed by another woman, and living up to her name, Sasha-Lee – defender of mankind.
