The drama surrounding Miss Nigeria 2024, Chidimma Adetshina, has taken another twist as reports suggest she was recently seen in Cape Town.
Her sudden reappearance in South Africa has reignited debates, given the controversy that surrounded her departure just last year.
The Citizenship Controversy
Chidimma first made headlines in 2024 when she withdrew from the Miss South Africa pageant following scrutiny over her South African citizenship.
The Department of Home Affairs later launched an investigation into her mother’s nationality, uncovering potential fraud and identity theft allegations.
As a result, Chidimma relocated to Nigeria, where she was later crowned Miss Nigeria 2024.
Spotted in Cape Town
Despite the legal questions surrounding her citizenship, Chidimma has allegedly returned to South Africa.
Social media erupted after an X user, @PovertykillerB, shared a video showing the model relaxing with a group of friends in Cape Town.
The post quickly gained traction, with many questioning how she managed to enter the country without proper documentation.
The caption accompanying the video read, “Chidimma Adetshina was allegedly seen in Cape Town a few days ago.
How did she get into the country without proper documents? @GaytonMcK and @Leon_Schreib, Home Affairs is enabling foreign nationals to disregard the rule of law.”
Public Reaction and Legal Concerns
The video has fueled a heated debate online, with many social media users expressing their frustration over South Africa’s immigration laws.
Some users have called on Home Affairs Minister Leon Schreiber to clarify how Chidimma was able to re-enter the country.
One user, @RTmmane, tweeted, “@Leon_Schreib nothing has changed at Home Affairs, you guys still take bribes from Nigerians. Why is Chidimma back in South Africa?”
Another user, @UMBUZOOjulile, offered a different perspective, stating, “We’re going to need Nigeria’s support when the world turns against us. Please people, let’s read the room.
The western powers are coming for us; we need Africa united.”
Meanwhile, @GrootbassBoer shared his frustration, saying, “Foreigners will always undermine this country because its so-called leaders are useless.”
What Happens Next?
With growing public concern over Chidimma’s alleged return, all eyes are on the Department of Home Affairs to provide clarity.
Was she legally allowed back into South Africa, or is there a loophole being exploited?
