Didia Dilonz Mukwala (born December 12, 1992) is a Zambian model and beauty pageant titleholder who won Miss Universe Zambia 2019.

Pageantry

Mukwala first participated at the Miss Heritage International Zambia 2015 after she signed up to compete. She won and was given the right to represent Zambia at the Miss Heritage International 2015 in New Delhi. She made it to the Top 10 and won two awards; Best National Costume and Best Body.[1] She also competed at Miss Zambia 2015 and ended up as a finalist.

She returned to pageantry when she participated at the Miss Universe Zambia 2017 pageant. She was placed as a finalist and won Miss Personality. She competed at Miss Universe Zambia 2019 at the Intercontinental Hotel at Lusaka, Zambia where she was announced as the winner, earning the right to represent Zambia at the Miss Universe 2019 competition.[2]

Mukwala wasn't able to compete after the financial situations that the Miss Universe Zambia organization is facing. According to Alice Musakwa, the national director of Miss Universe Zambia, stated that the organization launched a campaign for Mukwala to participate but however the fund accumulated is not enough for her to compete in the United States, she later accused the Zambian government for lack of support to the Zambian community.[3][4]

Mukwala is currently in the United States but her participation in Miss Universe 2020 is uncertain.[3]
