Until last week Adè was busy working as a medical doctor (and second lieutenant) in the South African National Defence Force, based at Military 2 Hospital in Cape Town.

The 25-year-old posted a photo on Facebook this afternoon, after the official ceremony in Sandton, saying: “That moment when a dream becomes a reality. Thank you @casperdesigner for making me feel like a true queen.Thank you, South Africa. My hope is to serve you well as your new #MissSA2017.”
