“I believe I am innocent and will be acquitted. My release would not undermine public peace.”
These were the words of Anabela Rungo, mother of beauty queen and model Chidimma Adetshina, while applying for bail on Friday in the Cape Town magistrate's court.
Rungo is facing charges related to flouting the Immigration Act and Identification Act.
The court heard testimony by an immigration officer who said she had failed to respond to correspondence in September 2024 warning her ID number was being withdrawn and offering an opportunity to object.
Rungo was arrested on February 15 in Summer Greens, Cape Town, where she was living despite her ID being revoked. She was found to have committed identity fraud to obtain citizenship.
Immigration officer Adrian Jackson told the court Rungo was arrested for contravening immigration laws and the Identification Act.
Jackson said she had falsely applied for an ID document under the name Sara Moyo.
Jackson said she could not be traced so letters confirming her ID would be withdrawn were sent to her via WhatsApp.
Magistrate Sadiqah Guendouz heard that Rungo had applied for residency in South Africa in 2016 but was rejected for not meeting the financial requirements. She appealed, presenting a bank statement which home affairs said was fraudulent. They rejected the appeal.
Defence attorney Ben Mathewson presented an affidavit during the bail application saying it was in the interests of justice for his client to be released.
Rungo, it read, lived with her husband Michael and looked after Chidimma’s young son while her daughter travelled. It said her grandson was not doing well while she was in custody.
The court heard Rungo required medication for health issues and feared she would collapse in the unsanitary conditions at Pollsmoor prison.
Rungo said she only had a Mozambican passport. “I should be released on bail as I am being charged with an offence for which I have not committed,” read the affidavit.
The court heard she had no previous convictions, outstanding warrants or pending applications and was able to pay bail of R3,000.
Rungo said there was no warrant issued for her arrest and she intended pleading not guilty as she had no knowledge of being an undesirable or prohibited person.
“I believe I am innocent and will be acquitted. My release would not undermine public peace.”
Mathewson added that the available evidence, at this stage, favoured his client's release.
The case was postponed to February 26. Rungo remains in custody.
Chidinma has a son? No wonder she can’t stay back from there
DMCY: You’re mixing the story up, did it happen to you or your sister?
Don’t mind him, it happened to him but he wanted to hang it on his imaginary sister. That’s what they do here. Hang stories on imaginary friends, brothers, sisters etc. Don’t know why
GOFRONT: No wonder you can never see the daughters of Northern Elites wear Hijab..........To them, Hijab don cast...... So many Atrocities committed with their Hijabs......Alhaji can bang them comfortably inside Hijab
Not only alhaji. I was banging one on a steady when I was up north. Always wearing hijab without pant when she comes, to make my job easier
The way it is, he can block anybody (even him mama) on WhatsApp right now if you disturb his life. I wonder why IYABO OJO and TOKE MAKINWA and the rest of them have not come out on their Instagram to blast this babe. Dem dey fear to chop watery beans? 😂
Finally, This babe will betray him and leave him when the insults and pressure from her friends and enemies threaten her political career.

Artscollection: Imagine an army commander leaving the battle field just to go watch some old men matching parade. Those Canadians must be wondering the kind of stupid leaders we have. Oga minister mind your business, I respect you for your cutting edge ideas but don't meddle in this classless case.
Namaster: First of all, women NEVER reveal their TRUE body counts. Especially NOT to a nice husband material like you.
The standard is to take whatever number they give you and MULTIPLY by 3.
So your GF has had about 120 dicccks inside her. And some of them came for second, third and fourth HELPINGS.
But the other 80 guys were "mini boyfriends" and they don't factor into her body counts.
ALSO, her saying the STEAMY sex chats with MULTIPLE guys was just her trying to get those guys to like her is a FUNDAMENTAL feature of female nature.
When she was younger, she DATED stereotypical bad boys and acted like a SHAMELESS SLUT for them.
Now that she's older, probably out of University, and ready to SETTLE DOWN; she found herself a good guy in YOU and started to pretend to be a REFORMED and RESERVED wife material.
For bad boys, she acted like a BITCH. For nice guys, she acted like a NUN.
She's a CHAMELEON that adopts whatever colour that appeals to her TARGETS.
Right now, you are the target. And she has MORPHED into your DREAM WOMAN.
That's why you are still MOURNING a relationship with a 25-year old PROSTITUTE.
She is NOT the girl for you. You will NEVER get past her body counts.
Even if 40 was the REAL number (it's NOT), that is still TWO GIGM BUS FULL OF DICKS (with leftovers) that have been INSIDE your girl.
That's a WHOOOORE!
Only stay in that relationship if you dream of raising BASTARDS.
No1. Did they break the wall of the hospital to get her inside? No2. If they had been arranging someone to be giving her serious knacking, it wouldn’t have gotten to that
