Despite being born and raised in South Africa, and is a South African citizen, some South Africans said Chidimma Adetshina cannot represent the country as Miss South Africa

They said her father is Nigerian, and Mother from Mozambique. They hounded the girl online and offline until she finally quit the pageant

Well, Chidimma must be laughing her head off as the winner of Miss South Africa is Mia Le Roux, a white woman born in South Africa to French immigrants

The Mozambique woman should tell her daughter the real origin of her daughter but definitely not Nigeria.

COMRADES are speechless at this news

It shall not be well with anyone promoting nepotism, ethnic profiling, hatred etc whether South African or Nigerian

I don't know why the world cannot live in peace and harmony

Chidimma is not having any last laugh. She was disgraced out of the competition and her mother is about to go to jail for fraud. That’s not a last laugh to me.

over 80% of the winners have been white. They are fine with it. The real issue is how did chidinma with a 9ja father and Mozambique mother get citizenship. It has been discovered that her mum stole someone’s identity to register her birth. They may revoke the citizenship. So how is she having the last laugh 🥱

She was born and raised in South Africa. No matter where her father originates from, she is still a South African citizen

Wait adetshina

So she has root in Yoruba or what

Yet the ronu terrorists where instigating targeted tribal onslaught with to those xenophobic south Africans... Chai

If you are born and raised in a country, you will become a citizen of that country after a certain age, usually after the age of 10

So no matter what her mother may have done, it still does not take away from the fact that she was born and raised in South Africa, and is therefore a citizen of that country

her parents were not citizens or permanent residents. So the mother stole a South African identity to register her. Stop trying to rewrite reality

No be me and you do anything for 2009 on NL.

I am not from South Africa so I don't know about their citizens law but the woman should stopped parading her daughter as a Nigerian. Let her tell the daughter where exactly her father hail from.

Do you mean the mother is not even from Mozambique?

Can you imagine this brainless ipob,s trying to defend frauds! Someone stole another persons identity, one goririlla is telling us that she’s having the last laugh?? You carry this your smelling mnesonma jamb forging behaviour to another country?? You think South African is like Nigeria that you can easily blackmail their government?? I’m sure her mum now is in serious trouble!

Lifestone:
Was she born in South Africa?

she was. But to get citizenship at birth on of the parents need to be a permanent resident or citizen. For her mother to have stolen another person identity its clear they didn’t meet the requirement.

I get you. Is she from Oyo State or Ondo State?

If you're born in SA, just like USA and Canada, you're a citizen.

Whether legal or illegal immigrants does not change that fact

But the Lady knew nothing about the fraud !

so why did the mother steal another person identity of that's the case

She did not parade her self as a Nigerian, she was in a beauty pageant to represent South Africa

South Africa practices a restricted form of jus soil mode of nationality. It is not automatic as in the US. Since the authorities say the mother falsified her nationality status, it puts into doubt Chidinma's South African claim to citizenship.

Whatever her mother may have done, does that take away the fact that was born and raised in South Africa?

ednut1:

To register her as what? She was born and raised in South Africa. When you are born and raised in most countries of the world, you get citizenship after a certain age. For most countries of, it is between age 7 and 10

So no matter if her mother stole someone's identity, what matter is if she was born and raised in South Africa

gidgiddy:

No. But because a parent of hers - who was not a South African national at the time of birthing Chidinma - falsified her nationality status, it means Chidinma's claim to South African nationality is doubtful. In simple English, a parent of Chidinma faked her citizenship, so thus, the children's South African citizenship is in doubt. In fact, as it is, she can be stripped of South African citizenship and told to re-apply. Just because she was born and bred in South Africa does not entitle her to being a South African by nationality. South Africa practices a restricted form of jus soli.

There is no doubt about it. If you're passing through SA and gave birth there, that person is a citizen. Thats how the Europeans in SA became South Africans

She might be an illegal immigrant but as long as her daughter was born in SA soil, she is a citizen. Thats how Europeans settlers children became South Africans

That is not true. The laws were changed in 1995. Europeans, just like Indians or Chinese who moved in as indentured workers, are different from post-1995 immigrants. Again, just because a non-South African gave birth in South Africa does not mean the child automatically becomes a South African.
Here is the 1995 declaration: https://www.gov.za/sites/default/files/gcis_document/201409/act88of1995.pdf

I'm curious - do you never, ever, bother to check data before expressing an opinion?

Nigerians should rest in this matter because it is now making us look toxic, tho what south Africa people did to chidinma was very bad
