Miss USA, Nana Meriwether, on the balcony of her 20th-floor penthouse in Cape Town. Meriwether, whose grandparents live in Soweto, is in South Africa for a few days of charity work


South African-born Nana Meriwether, who clinched the coveted title last year, is on her official "homecoming". Yesterday, the 27-year-old kicked off her tour of South Africa in Cape Town.

"When I won Miss USA I went to the offices of the Miss Universe Organisation and said I am on a homecoming trip to South Africa because every titleholder gets a homecoming trip and it is usually in the US," said Meriwether. "But this is my home."

Meriwether, who was born in Mpumalanga, where her father, Delano, was a medical missionary, felt at home with the panoramic views of Cape Town and Table Mountain from the 20th floor penthouse of the Pepperclub Hotel.

"It is a beautiful country with so much culture, diversity, leading wines, food, amazing dance. It is a lovely country that I would love to share and I boast about a lot in America: 'I am South African, you must come and check it out'."

Meriwether's parents are with her. Her mother, Nomvimbi, is from Soweto.

The family is raising awareness about its Meriwether Foundation, which helps poor African communities access clean water and start agricultural projects.

Meriwether could not wait to get to Soweto.

"My grandfather and gogo still live in Soweto. My grandfather loves golf, so I brought him a golf club all the way from the US."

SA born former miss USA Nana and her boyfriend Shaq...

She braggs about SA in USA. WE'RE THE UNITED STATES OF AFRICA. WHATEVER USA HAS WE HAVE.

"It is a beautiful country with so much culture, diversity, leading wines, food, amazing dance. It is a lovely country that I would love to share and I boast about a lot in America: 'I am South African, you must come and check it out'."

Yet an ordinary Ghanaian lives better than Angolan. A place where they just keep building and building with no direction. Most of the cities are ghost towns with no citizens because they can't afford. Apart from Angolas oil base economy, what else do they have going for them. Stupid xenophobic fool

You call Mozambique, Zambians, and others your brothers but you continue to kill them.

You should ignore the troll. He thrives on attention. The fact that his username is a Ghanaian name just shows that he is retarded. He keeps pretending to be under nationalities but he could never be a Ghanaian and would never be accepted by one. He is a typical SA xhosa guy. Very childish and primitive. Ignoring such freaks gets to them more. He is obviously jobless because a busy person does not have the time to do what he does.

That was merely envisaged and it failed. China alone is a giant that grows bigger than everyone in the world. The writer of that half baked article did not do his research well and instead should have approached me first . perhaps, this half baked article was a handwork of the BRICS-phones who are troubled by the fact that the BRICS countries are now thriving as world powers now that China will control the world economy. They are troubled by the fact that these countries have established a bank which will challenge the world bank and bail out many countries in debts.

nope son, it was a projection in 2014 that has been established .

SA wasn't mentioned in BRICs cos she isn't there anymore lol. i know you will stamp your feet and shake your head when i present you with the truth hahaha.

and don't you ever mention "BRICS" again, it is BRICs SA is no more part of the show

You are right. Definitely got 2 start listening to you more, u have been right on many occasions.

LeSudAfricaine:
The question should be WHAT ARE OUR FATHERS BUILDING? Only a fool thinks, there has been no development since Apartheid ended,My Nigerian brother how exactly do you reason?, if you reason at all? Who is building houses, Universities, ports, roads, prisons, stadiums now? Our companies never fled,they expanded! They are investing in YOUR country, they are creating jobs for your countrymen. Did Coke flee from the US? Or Adidas from Germany?""Lol. No wonder the literacy rate of you country you are dumb hey... DSTV can simply take their business elsewhere, you are not special,. And lastly no matter how much you can try to ridicule Zulu people, and call them names you can never take away that the Zulu tribe or the Zulu rule of King Shaka is revered Worldwide comparable to the lIkes of Genghis Khan, Shaka's Army had no peers in the continent, it is well known world over,there was an International TV show, there's a hip hop movement in the states, called the Zulu nation, The Zulu nation is constantly mentiones in songs etc, Great tribe! ....who is the king of the IGbo, Yoruba etc again?

your fathers are tearing down every block the white man has laid for over 300 years. all your sectors are malfunctioning from health to education. stop kidding yourself. look yourself in the mirror, raise your right hand and say out loud" "i am a hype, my country is a hype. we live and breath on the labours of the dutch and english"

since your fathers became president, SA has become the crime capital of the world
rãpe capital of the world
attempted murder capital
murder capital (86 deaths in a day)

HIV capital

child rãpe capital
SA is one of the most unequal societies of the world

the %5 white owns the economy


STOP MENTIONING DSTV AND SHOPRITE FOR FVCK'S SAKE. these are the white dutch companies who are flying into other sane African countries for fear of you.

your government is forcing these companies to employ lazy, illiterate and savage, pap guzzling xenophobic toad like you. not just to employ but to become share holders ******spits*****

if you talk about dstv or shoprite as a BSA (Black South African) they will deny you.

your lots are a pariah to development.

what you do best is sniff drugs, drink pap and loot foreigners shop out of envy.

thunder fire you !!!!

It is a pity when a black mans is actually claiming a white mans doing as an achievement..No single black SA is recognized apart from Mandela and Desmond tutu.. Apart from them the world doesn't know another black SA man.

Their sports are improving because the white men are the ones there.

remove the white men from SA and that place will be worse than Hades. No wonder they worship the white men over there.

President mugagbe is right after all.

mzilakazi:


Music capital to yourself. We have our own music capital and our own artists which we support

South Africa and truth don't ever mix.

deny it all you want

take all the grammies there are

Nigeria has established itself as the music/ entertainment capital in Africa. ask your Chanel O.

and other west and central African countries like Congo are ahead of you.

mzilakazi:



OMG!!! man you must go and have your head checked to see if you do not suffer bipolar, just wondering if there are some good doctors there. The only sport that exist in your mind is SOCCER. What about rugby, cricket, swimming, high jump, etc

YOU ARE OBSESSED WITH SOCCER YET YOUR LOCAL LEAGUE IS SMALL. YOU HAVE NOT WON CONTINENTAL COMPETITION MORE THAN EGYPT OR COME ANY CLOSER FOR THAT MATTER. YOU MUST COME OUT OF YOUR COCOON AND DIVERSIFY YOUR SPORT IN ORDER TO DOMINATE AFRICA.

We are not some little uneducated Nigerian kids that you can tell lies whenever you want to. Please!!! save your breath, unless you want to embarrass yourself further.

my boy, the world doesnt give a flying fvck about cricket, swimming etc.

football and track and field is what is. who is the fastest swimmer or the king of cricket no one cares.

but the whole world knows Ronaldo, messi, etc.
even players of many decades like Pele, maradona, are still in the lips of the world.

the fastest man in the world will always be a delight as is the fastest man/woman in Africa.

Zulu boy, the only sports SA is good at are the ones no body care about to compete in. except some white folks who can even organize rat chase and call it sports.

BSA (Black South Africa) is still a big 0

kwametut:

All your sporting achievements are in soccer. Thats all.

soccer is the nunber I sport in tge world and the only sport in SA where black really dominate alnost a 100% and yiu are a HUGE 0

On music and film.
IN MUSIC PLEASE GOOGLE GRAMMY AWARD WINNERS from Nigeria and SA. Compare them.
Then IN FILM INDUSTRY GOOGLE OSCAR WINNERS betwee SA and flat head country/Nigeria. In sports in boxing SA has produced over 135 WORLD CHAMPS and we are ranked 5th boxing nation in the world by RING. Again GOOGLE is your friend.

Ape, NOLLYWOOD is number2 in the world after occupying the 3rd position for over a decade.
1 Hollywood= USA
2 Nollywood=NIGERIA
3 Bollywood= INDIA
what is the name of SA film industry and what position in the world is it?

and you are talking about Oscar awards as a yardstick for measuring your film industry.

if you are the zulu representative here you should be recalled home. you are doing a drunken job here. your xenophobic zulu king seems to have more logic than you even though his cannot fill up a baby's medicine spoon.

kwametut:
I said put SOURCES to your claims FLAT HEAD. This shows you're drunk from eating AKAMU thru your anus.

you mean you need source that to know we are the NO 1 economy in africa? or that we are africa's spiritual headquaters with the synagogue your zulu folks are paying homage to every day ? not to mention Oyakhilome
Oyedepo

Ashimolowo

Adeboye lol. Nigeria is home to 5 of the top 10 richest pastors on earth.


so all the free meals ANC is giving as incentive for free education couldn't lure you?

little wonder you have sawdust for brain. what a slummy scum. you are such a waste on the effort of debate .

a zulu baboon who left the jungle by 1994 and came here to feign knowledge.

Olodo.

lol. today shall be your slaughter day. no Zulu has fought and won any battle in living memory, you wont be the first .

alright let me slaughter you without even looking for old internet links like you.

SA is the highest HIV infected country in the world. it is almost an endemic level in your country that is has ravaged your military personel....WHAT HAS YOUR HEALTH SYSTEM DONE ABOUT IT ? it failed big time, zulu.
today SA is a byword for HIV/AIDS.

I have posted last week on nairaland how escom has turned SA into a country lit by candles and your biggest hospital was using torch light from a cell phone to conduct an operation.

the situation was so dire that 3 patients occupy a bed in admission and one of the patient died and was sand witched by two living patients.

listen, just call me the SA slayer. i have had my medals.

when i say SA is a rotten piece of jungle run by violent savages and xenophobic gorrilas i wasn't insulting you people.

PunkyOh:



In reality, you're the biggest white ass kissers. I've seen how your people act around whites. It's embarrassing to say the least.

hey cüñt; i know you are just here to spread your legs but we are busy. try again soon.

LeSudAfricaine:
You never seem to amaze do you? I could write South África's achievements my self which can be fill a phonebook, I won't resort to that, It's childish! Who brags about population anyway? The way you overuse the word "Zulu"shows me that you are not aware of South África's diversity and also exposes your tribal mentality, we call all of you Nigerians and yet, you busy yapping Zulu this, zulu that! You're definately from a village that I can see, You gonna come and brag about how some racist organisation like BBC said about Nigeria, your white gods must have boosted your ego hey, that's how low your self worth is? Seeking validation from whites all the time,! also bragging about Billionares that do not do s xxxhing for you! We al know the situation with your electricity and yet you have a nerve in telling us about the power issue, how rich! At least the new Medupi power station and others are already being built, what is your country doing? In South África problems are solved we do not run away, right now I hear of no generator noise. South África is definately not a crime capital of the world, how many times must you lie to boost your ego? Your movies,,Lol, ..Dude your movies are a joke ! They are glorified home videos ! Badly edited, bad acting, a lot of noise, same storyline that further entranches the belief that Nigerians are backwards! Please man try something else to brag about! You produce a lot of movies but your movies are quantity, I'll rather watch Bollywood !Same thing with your music, I don't know of any Nigerian musician of substence, it's just a cacophony of genreless autotuned noise from the likes of Wizkid, Davido etc I haven't heard Of Nigerian Soul, rock, pop, house etc, You guys are limited musically, your songs sound the same, You hold a candle to our musicians. Last time I checked HIV was a worldwide problem, It is certainly a Nigerian one, the fact that South África has 1000 or more people with it, it's irrelevant, in-fact due to the policies of health minister Aarom Motsoaledi, the has been a marked decline of new infections, South Africa has never been perfect then, it's not perfect now, ...and there's no way The Great Arcbishop can endorse the very same system he has been fighting all his life,.

save us this long narrative of weepings.

do you deny SA has 86 murders per day?

do you deny SA blacks do not rape elderly white women and force grandpa to watch?

population is very relevant in todays world my boy.
take a look at the top 10 largest economy in the world today:

USA
CHINA ALL ARE BIG POPULATED COUNTRIES
JAPAN

at the lower end:

BRAZIL
INDIA. by 2020 BRITAIN, ITALY might be on their way out.

by the way, little Mozambique is supplying gas and electricity for a pittance.


hollywood is no 2 WORLDWIDE your opinion doesn't change a thing.


just say no to xenophobia and stop looting foreigners whose only crime is being smarter than your zulu ass.

LeSudAfricaine:
I really do not get your point

julius melamo is advocating for white land to be seized but he is afraid the white people who run SA economy will ruin the country economically if their land is taken.

point to note : black south Africa isn't free yet. you may have psuedo political freedom but you had it better during apartheid.

whites looked after you better than ANClooks after you

South Africans do not patronise Nigerian music. So, I also fail to understand how can you claim that title when your music is only patronised by Nigerians.

Over 80% of Nigerians do not know their HIV status and they are sitting second after South Africa. More babies die of Aids in Nigeria than in any country. Nigeria is regarded as the HIV positive infants capital in the world.

Why do you divide South Africa into Black and White South Africa. However, Soccer is not the only sport in the world. Golf pays far far more than soccer.
