Chidimma Adetshina, who was a finalist in the Miss South Africa beauty contest, sparked criticism as despite being a South African citizen, her father is Nigerian…

  1. Fraudulent identity is a barrier; it has nothing to do with being African. Your Mum really let you down because she should have been open and honest with you regarding how she obtained SA citizenship, and that another family was suffering because of her actions.

  2. Destiny delayed is not Destiny Denied. I'm a South African and I support chichi I'm against all the horrible things toxic south Africans put her through she's south African with a multi-ethnic ancestry. The same way black Americans are Americans them having an African lineage does not make them less American

  3. What is funny is that Nigerians ran their mouths when they didn't want her. That's when South Africans started a voting campaign to spite them. They then proceeded to body shame another contestant, and guess what? South Africans started a new campaign for the bdy shamed girl to win. Just baded on the fact that her mom obtained citenzenahip fraudulently make everything she has gained because of it "fruits of the forbidden tree".

  4. Where is the mother and father?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? WHERE ARE THEY? WHY AREN'T THEY SUPPORTING HER? THE SILENCE IS VERY LOUD.

  5. May this be a lesson for all parents that their actions are likely to affect their children. Identity theft is a serious crime! Good luck for her and hope she gets some closure. There are many victims of identity theft in RSA who are still without their IDENTITY and lost access to the benefits of being a citizen.

  6. There is no nation called Africa. Africa is a continent and black people are a race.
    Go to other African countries to practice your Africanism and thuggery let's see if they will like it

  7. Greater Africa Integration is doomed if we continue to protect criminals and beneficiaries of crime in the expense of real victims. Supporting chidimma because you hate South Africa is tantamount of supporting crime, lawlessness and unaccountability across the continent.
    We South Africans are happy when South African citizens are caught doing crime in foreign countries and get justifiable punished but most African societies (Nigeria and Zimbabwe) think protecting their criminals is the ought most honorable duty to do.

  8. Wipe off your crocodile tears. This girl is worse than her evil parents.
    She never acknowledge the suffering of a black woman who suffered for 23 years while she was benefiting from identity theft.
    She lacks dignity and compassion of the real victim.
    Kim Kardashian style to use a scandal to obtain fame and fortune.
    BBC and the British is the enemy of South Africa, no surprise of the interview.
    Shame is on Nigerian government that welcome her with crown knowing there was a pending investigation against her in South Africa about identity theft.
    Chidimma is a typical African who seek justice when it suit them and want to play victim when caught in corrupt activities. .
    The proper thing was for Nigerian government to liaison and cooperate with South Africa government on the alleged investigation.
