Is Miss Mayotte present at the show ?

Miss Mayotte was able to go to the Miss France 2025 evening. Her mother, who lives in Ghana, also took a plane to support her daughter. Her sisters and cousins are also present. The tragedy happening in Mayotte has struck Zaya Toumbou, student in Toulouse.

The cyclone Chido blows at 226 km/h and devastates the island. “Since this morning, she has been linked to this disaster that is affecting her island.” explains her regional delegate Benucci Attoumani to the Parisien. “The island is completely paralyzed, it affects all of Mayotte, her family is there, she is concerned, affected.”

Miss Mayotte focuses on the Miss France 2025 competition

Miss Mayotte focuses on the election of Saturday, December 14, 2024. “It's the big night, she already has the pressure even without what's happening. She'll do her best. If she makes it to the fifteen finalists, she will of course have a word for her island. But for that, she must first to hang on to this top 15.” affirms its regional delegate.

A jury representing the Miss France company and partners of the show have chosen 15 candidates for the competition, in secret. “I don't know anything myself. Nothing ever leaks from this list.” confirms the delegate from Mayotte. “We had planned a fan zone to relay the show. This was obviously cancelled. Almost all the island is without electricity. No one will probably be able to watch the election or vote if Zaya ever makes it to the Top 1.” According to information from Parisien, TF1 has not planned a call for donations or a special intervention in Mayotte during the Miss France 2025 show.
