ROSSLYN, South Africa - Nissan South Africa congratulates Miss South Africa, Demi-Leigh Nel-Peters for winning the Miss Universe pageant.
The 22 year old competed against 92 finalists from around the globe - the largest group of contestants to ever compete for the title - at the glitzy ceremony in Las Vegas this past Sunday, 26 November 2017.
Demi-Leigh is the second Miss South Africa to win the Miss Universe title after Margaret Gardiner in 1978. She became a Nissan Ambassador when she was bestowed the Miss South Africa crown earlier this year and won a new Nissan Juke as part of her prize winnings.
She has since demonstrated her commitment to Nissan by being a credible and relevant brand ambassador of Nissan products like the Nissan Juke, GT‑R and the 370Z. "As Nissan South Africa we wish her every success on her new journey and will continue to support the future of Demi-Leigh going forward," says Xavier Gobille, Nissan’s Managing Director of Sales and Marketing.
