The reigning Miss South Africa, Demi-Leigh Nel-Peters, has caught a lot of flak online after the official Miss SA Twitter account posted photos of her wearing gloves while posing with black children at Ikageng in Soweto during a soup kitchen visit.
To everyone asking about the gloves, I truly hope that you’ll hear my heart and understand that it came from a place of wanting to do good. pic.twitter.com/Pl5amM2gEM

However, Black Twitter was not buying it and subsequently began dragging her on Twitter.
Ladies and gentleman welcome your Miss SA 👏👏 pic.twitter.com/MPQoZ2Z9Qy

I’m sure Miss SA had been busy in the kitchen with gloves and was asked to come for pics. Lack of oversight 😞
