Let me bow down to the Queen Naty first... Naty, you proved to everyone that you are in it to win it! The passion and drive you have for this competition is very unmeasurable. I loved every minute seeing your great photos and knowing that you are bound to something better. Thank you very much for joining the Next Top Model, it has been a great pleasure.

Naty: Thank you so much Jerard it's been a pleasure being here 💓💓💓💓💓💓

CAROLINE: 49.5677 + 68.40 + 2 = 119.9677 (3rd)

And of course let's give it to the SIXTEENTH WINNER OF THE NEXT TOP MODEL!!!

the best representation of Africa throughout the Next Top Model history, we have it here, AJAK DENG!

And for that, Ajak, you will gain  A 3 Cover and Spread of Model Division (or more), A $100,000 Contract from Hughes Models and a Modelling Contract with Model Division.

From the very moment you stepped on to the camera for the first time competition we been knew you'd do good things, we however did not expect you'll take us to different journeys every time the camera flashes, and that had been your very strength. Congratulations Ajak for a well deserved win, you made history by not only being the first African winner, but also representing the black community!
