Tunzi has been a firm favourite with the public since the top 16 finalists were announced a few weeks prior to the ceremony.
It was between her and fellow finalist 26-year-old Wits University student, Sasha-Lee Olivier from Johannesburg in the battle for the crown during the last question and answer session.
Twitter users shared congratulatory messages for Tunzi.
