MIA LE ROUX: ‘I AM BACK IN SOUTH AFRICA’
The beauty queen Mia le Roux thanks South Africans for supporting her in a video on Instagram on Wednesday, 20 November.
“Hello everyone, I’m back in South Africa and wanted to reach out to you all. Thank you so much for all of your kind wishes, you support and prayers.”
“I wanted to be transparent with you and share my story. A lot of you would’ve seen the video that I made about vertigo, while I was in Mexico at Miss Universe.”
“Vertigo is a condition where it feels like you are dizzy and there’s a sense of the world spinning around you. It’s very intense and can cause major issues with your imbalance.”
“Mentally I was very story, I was ready, but physically my body was taking strain. I had to even seek medical help in Mexico City.”
Le Roux adds that her condition didn’t improve after seeking medical help and she fell repeatedly. She also reveals that this led to her decision to drop out of the competition.
