Chidimma Adeshina’s Cape Town Visit Sparks Controversy
Chidimma Adetshina, a former Miss South Africa contestant, has been at the center of a significant controversy regarding her citizenship status. In October 2024, the South African Department of Home Affairs announced plans to revoke the identity and travel documents of Adetshina and her mother, citing their failure to provide adequate explanations for retaining their South African citizenship.
This decision followed earlier investigations into allegations of fraud and identity theft involving Adetshina’s mother. The controversy intensified when Adetshina withdrew from the Miss South Africa 2024 pageant, expressing concerns for her family’s safety amid the ongoing scrutiny.
Recently, reports have emerged that Adetshina was spotted in Cape Town, despite the Department of Home Affairs’ previous statements about revoking her travel documents.
This development has led to public outcry, with many South Africans calling for the resignation of the Home Affairs Minister, questioning the effectiveness and consistency of the department’s actions.
