Si Lalela Mswane ng South Africa ang kinoronahang Miss Supranational 2022, ang international beauty pageant na idinaos noong July 15, sa Strzelecki Park Ampitheater sa Nowy Saqz, Malopolska, Poland.
First runner-up sa Miss Supranational 2022 si Praewwanich Ruangthong ng Thailand, 2nd runner-up si Nguyen Hunyh Kim Duyen ng Vietnam, third runner-up si Adlina Cresheilla ng Indonesia, at 4th placer si Ismelys Velasquez ng Venezuela.
Hindi pinalad na magwagi o magkaroon ng puwesto si Alison Black ng Pilipinas, pero kabilang siya sa Top 24 candidates at hinirang na Miss Talent.
Hindi baguhan si Mswane sa pagsali sa mga beauty pageants dahil siya ang tinanghal na Miss South Africa noong nakaraang taon at naging kinatawan ng kanyang bansa sa 70th Miss Universe na ginanap noong December 13 sa Eilat Israel.
Nakalaban ni Mswane sa 70th Miss Universe ang Philippine bet na si Beatrice Luigi Gomez.
Hindi nakuha ni Mswane ang Miss Universe crown na napanalunan ni Harnaaz Sandhu ng India, pero siya ang hinirang na second runner-up.
Bago siya umakyat kagabi sa entablado ng Miss Supranational 2022 para lumaban, ipinaabot na ni Mswane ang taos-puso na pasasalamat niya sa lahat ng mga sumuporta sa kanya na lalong naging makabuluhan dahil siya ang nag-uwi ng korona.
"I took a moment to reflect on my @misssupranational journey and I realised what a blessing it has been. I don’t think words could express my gratitude for this experience. The people I have crossed paths with, the memories I have made and the things I have learnt have all been so enriching.
"A big THANK YOU to you team South Africa and all of team Lali across the world. I have been warmed by your all your constant love and words of encouragement throughout this journey.
"@official_misssa , I will forever be grateful for granting me the opportunity to have this experience and for supporting me through it all. Thank you. For making this one of the most beautiful experiences and making each and every delegate seen and heard, my heart is filled with the utmost appreciation.
"Tonight as I fly the South African flag ???????? On the @misssupranational stage, I do so with so much gratitude, pride and honour and I hope to make you all proud," ang mensahe ng pasasalamat ng 25-year old South African beauty queen sa kanyang Instagram account.
Samantala, taong 2013 nang manalo ang Pilipinas sa nasabing pageant. Ang kinatawan ng bansa noon ay si Mutya Datul.
