She applied and participated and received the first princess crown.
Vuyani says that in every pageant when the queen is unavailable she gets replaced by the first princess and for Miss Diversity Lesotho, the queen was not available and Vuyani being the first princess had to take her place.

“The pageantry had to take place in Dubai in 2020 but due to COVID-19 it was postponed and it took place last week online.,” she remembered.
After the 2019 Miss World Diversity, Vuyani however registered with Sothokids culture agency in February last year to do both fashion pageants and modelling.
“Ever since Miss World Diversity, I entered Zanzibar pageants called Miss Universe Diversity where I walked away with the second princess crown in December 2019,” she said.
Vuyani is known for being ambassador of brands like Cograbig and Future leaders.
She revealed that being pageant is costly and she does not want to depend on her parents.

And her dreams came true when she climbed the ladder to lead the way.
