Miss Universe Zimbabwe 2025 could be Lyshanda Moyas, Rumbidzai Muzopa, Samukele Dlamini

Sakhile Zibusiso Dube is a psychotherapist and a fashion entrepreneur born and raised in Bulawayo, Zimbabwe. She is the reigning Miss Universe Zimbabwe 2024.

Miss Universe Zimbabwe 2025 predictions

On May 17, 2025, Dube will go back to the Harare Hippodrome in Braeside, Harare, Zimbabwe to crown her successor. It is the fifth edition of the national beauty pageant that selects Zimbabwe’s Miss Universe candidate.

Arthur C. Evans and Rebecca “Becky K” Muchenje Kucherera will host the coronation ceremony with Noma Nyce and Tafadzwa Zimoyo as red carpet hosts. The judges are Brooke Bruk-Jackson, Paloma Mlunjwana, Roseanne Hall, Tsungai Makwanya and Zak Hawa.

From 20 candidates, only nine finalists are still in the running towards becoming Miss Universe Zimbabwe 2025. I believe these five finalists will make it to the top:

predicted 4th runner-up

Annie-Grace Mutambo (Murewa, Mashonaland East)

predicted 3rd runner-up

Onesimo Nkomo (Nkayi, Matebeleland)

predicted 2nd runner-up

Samukele Dlamini (Bulawayo)

predicted 1st runner-up

Rumbidzai Muzopa (Honde Valley, Manicaland)
