You are a winner to us, Mia! You opened the way for many other people who want to take part in competitions! So proud of you!!! I am also proud of SA miss universe competition who was inclusive and positive towards you, we are miles ahead of other countries! Well done!👏🏻💐🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆

[@kehindeokanlawon6756]

May God heal you. Sending you big hugs from Nigeria. Good to know you prioritized your health.

In our hearts you won. A beauty queen should win the hearts of her people, and you have done that.

[@VuyoWakaba]

We are all very proud of you and thank you for representing the nation. We pray for a speedy recovery and wish you all the best.

💯 proudly South African ❤❤❤

[@bambinahapirich7147]

Oh you are so beautiful Ms. South Africa . If you didn’t back out maybe you were one of the magic five or even the Ms. Universe. I had a vertigo too and it was really crazy unmanageable. The vertigo exercise on you tube is really helpful. It cured my vertigo. Take good care of yourself and I wish you will be well soon. God Bless.

Get well Mia ❤

I am Nigerian IN Nigeria and I love and respect your decision. You are still a beautiful, strong woman and the South African queen. You would do great things in pur generation. You did the right thing. There will be greater opportunities to do thing and promote your advocacy. When one door closes another opens. Don't worry. It's a blessing in disguise. Love from Nigeria.❤

[@RaulNuñez-k7h]

No worries Nigeria did the job ❤❤❤

[@bettyangel7009]

If you have a history of vertigo, you should state that ahead of time and they should take that into consideration in accepting you into the pageant. Did you not have your medicine with you? People should not be telling stories as if their audience are stupid.

[@Pamela_N]

Sweetheart Youre a Queen to Us! Beautiful Miss South Africa we are proud of you.

[@carolokoli7874]

Should have put her country first instead of her ambition. Miss universe competition is not a spa date it’s a fitness camp where they screen for resilience, intelligence, turnupability and then beauty. It’s more than being pretty and sugary sweet. If you don’t have these you sit down and let your sister who has the qualities represent and bring the crown home.

[@elizehauptfleisch7542]

You actually don't know what you are talking about

[@carolokoli7874]

@ actually I do. She used her disability as an unfair advantage against other suitable candidates and is using same to explain away her M.I.A behaviour. Flakey “Queen” with flakey followers

​, people like her are disgusting and callous creatures, in fact much worse. And you're right, she has zero idea what she's talking about. A dribbling miserable existence is all she is. Karma is very, very, very patient for people like her. Her time is in the making. Her comment is possibly the cruellest thing I have read on social media and that doesn't go unnoticed, believe you me. It's heartwarming to see that amongst such cruelty in people such as her beautiful people like you still exist in this world. ❤

Even though I hate how South Africans treated Chichi I still love Mia. I can tell she is different from them and have a heart of gold. You are still a winner Mia.

You are beautiful Mia, God luv you and we luv you so much, stay blessed ❤🎉🎉❤❤

[@Sir360-e9s]

As a South African I was disappointed when I learnt she’d had to opt out. She could have asked for a wheelchair, SA team that were with her could have got real creative pimping up that wheelchair as a chariot of resilience , true spirit of the Zulu warriors and she could of used that as a platform to speak of her disability and how it has not stopped her from being her best self representing her Zulu warrior nation. She would have won the hearts of so many and be trending by now. Such a wasted platform and opportunity. Nah SA we didn’t do well let’s just admit it and move on.

[@kayleen4577]

I am differently able and have a cochlear implant and I think she just set us back because companies and people will know that we are weak, she did not do us any favours!

Educate yourself. Go read up on the altitude in Mexico read up in hearing impaired flying and what happens to them. You are all so illiterate you can free your mind with research. Vertigo for hearing impaired people is hell.

It was karma

[@PerfumeSA2910]

​@@oben9514it was not karma!!!!!!!! Chichi was dishonest from the get go, claiming to be South African, she might have won whatever, but her dishonesty is what she will be remembered for. The Miss Universe competition is not as glamorous as it used to be. Watch previous Miss Universe competitions. Mia will forever go down in history for being hearing impaired, and stood on two prestigious platforms (1) winner of Miss South Africa (2) Miss Universe entrant.

[@jabulilenenzhelele2179]

@@PerfumeSA2910 Not only dishonesty, but selfishness . Accepting to be in the nigerian competition at the stage they were in and not being considerate of how hard they have worked for it.And, it being obvious that she would be crowned.

[@carolokoli7874]

@@jabulilenenzhelele2179miss mam dishonesty is when you put yourself forward to represent your country in a competition that requires ultimate fitness when you know you have a pre-existing condition that would ultimately impair your ability to get the job done . Queens are resilient!! there were a lot of those Queens pushing through adversity and hidden conditions but they got the job done! All those ladies are Queen material. I hope she gets better soon The competition was not about her it was about her country!. If that had been a black South African MIA it would be a different story. The world is watching and learning more about SA. Behold your Wueen SA.

[@samsonmarikwa2631]

Could have been better if a presser was done by the South African pageant. This is embarrassing for the nation. Get well girl. South Africans spoiled your chance to compete fairly without carrying negative energy baggage.

[@julzziemac]

How is this embarrassing it's her story to tell no the Miss SA orgs?

[@magnanimousheart6418]

South Africa became the first country to have a woman with disability represent the country on a global stage. Mia is our Queen, she is our pride. She is very informative and confident in who she is, very committed to educating those around her. She broke all barriers and worked twice as hard or even more to reach her dream. She embodies all the qualities of beauty with a purpose.She is extremely deserving. May her projects reach out to many and may it uplift the disabled community. She will be remembered for her contributions and that's what matters. May her reign be fruitful, God willingly.

[@FavourEfobi-nj7xk]

Super story . Aunty you ran away 🏃🏃🏃at the first glimpse of failure just to save face but in any ways get well soon that's only if you are sick and also you need it to welcome your African queen when she touches down to south Africa. Vertigo lady 😂😂😂😂
