The Cape Town Regional Court is set to deliver judgment on Wednesday on whether Nigerian pageant queen Chidimma Adetshina should be detained, pending potential deportation.

The former Miss South Africa contestant was arrested in June for entering the country illegally through the Lebombo border in Mozambique, despite being declared a prohibited person.

The identity and travel documents of the beauty queen were cancelled in October 2024 after her mother was accused of fraudulently registering her birth to a South African woman.

Adetshina's legal team said that while the Department of Home Affairs conceded that she was never implicated in the birth registration fraud, it declared her a prohibited person after a fraudulent bank statement was allegedly submitted as part of a visa application while living in Nigeria.

Her lawyers maintain the document was submitted by an immigration agency that handled the visa application.

The Department of Home Affairs’ lawyer, however, revealed at her last court appearance that Adetshina had re-entered South Africa in 2025, despite being on a visa-restricted list as it bids to have her detained while it pursues her deportation.

South Africa: "We don't want Chidimma!"
Also South Africa: court cases, headlines, debates, outrage and constant updates about Chidimma.
At this point, she may leave the country, but apparently she's still getting a permanent residency in their heads.

I see her being deported. Reentering the country through Mozambique after submitting fraudulent bank statements

Naija media should gear up to roll the red carpet for her once again and give her sympathetic interviews where she's portrayed as a victim.

I have no issue with whatever the court decides, by the way. One person's immigration status isn't going to be the reason your country prospers or struggles.

Why is she resisting coming back home? What is there in SA? Come back home o. PO will be happy to welcome home another Obedient

It does - one person at a time. The less people we have who undermine our laws the better the country becomes.

I sincerely hope that South Africa will become like a utopian state once all the black foreigners are gone. With the way you guys have gone about this xenophobia thing... Let's just pray

She's Mozambican as well. She can just cross beitbridge border and hang out in Maputo, Namibia or Botswana as well.

Eh Randdigital court case has been postponed till February. She is spending Christmas and New years in cape town.

Your hate has to wait a couple more months to manifest.

She made a mistake by taking on Nigerian citizenship quite quickly otherwise she would have had grounds to fight this battle at a better vantage point.

The poor girl is being used as a scape goat for the incompetence of Home affairs and the hate South Africans have for foreigners.

I wish her all the best.

Except beitbridge leads to Zimbabwe, wena. And with what passport?

February postponement it is. It's a date.

Sorry, I meant to say Ressano Garcia.

She is entitled to a Mozambican passport and can simply head to Mozambican embassy in South Africa and obtain one. The girl has a right to multiple citizenship. Lucky her.

RandDigital:

Yes, you will have to tolerate her for a while until after elections when she will file another appeal and then another appeal.

Foreigners come to South Africa get fraudulent identity with criminal officials, the get court. According to you is hate for foreigners when foreigners commit fraud and get caught. So foreigners have entitlement to illegality,fraud and criminality. South Africans should reward it because if the law take action is hate #xenophobia. I see why most don’t see anything being in South Africa with expired visa or no documentation at all worse it makes sense why most think visa or passport is work permit.

Two things can be true at the same time my friend. You can be a xenophobic country and also have the problem of illegal and irregular migration.

Here are the facts.

1. It was Chidinma's parent and the corrupt home affairs official who committed the fraudulent act and not Chidinma herself.

2. Chidinma was demonized/discriminated against for having a non South African name, was harrassed, intimidated and bullied during the beauty pageant which led to her submitting to an inquiry by home affairs and the subsequent discovery of the fraud allegation.

3. Chidinma was born in South Africa and has lived the entirety of her life in South Africa making her in "de facto" a South African in every sense of what it is to be South African.

4. The Law is taking its course and all "due process" is being followed. Why is it that she is still being harrassed, intimidated and threatened with violence during this legal process.

Your people are not fooling anyone Mfethu, You are fool of hate and we know who you are.

Stop lying South Africans have the akon brothers one in soccer national team one in athletics and we love them regardless their father being Nigerian because their legit, with chindima South Africans picked up fraud from the beginning, all South Africans are saying is be legal and respect the law but because you guys find it hard you call a simple request xenophobic and yes when law is not acting the citizens will act out of frustration, South Africa dnt just say Nigerians this and that and you know it what most are doing and South Africans love those respecting the law but Nigerians wants to shield the bad apples ( is a global thing by the way). Back to topic in South Africa if you’re born by foreign parents you dnt qualify for citizenship unless one parent is a citizen,she would have had a case if she was a stateless child now she is not because she have a Nigerian passport. Worst part in South Africa every child birth is recorded at the clinic or hospital, there is no record of her being born in any hospital more the one she claimed to be born from (bara hospital) . There is pictures of her in Nigeria as a child which raises another concern that she might have been smuggled as a child.

What puzzles me is how Nigerians are quick to call South Africans xenophobic, they never want to address the issues like in this case the illegality and criminality. You never want to discuss the most illegal migrants from Nigeria in South Africa, the criminal element, the trading in pavements without permits, the working without permits and many more . You quick to call people names for addressing your social ills but never want to call your people order. Same in Libya and many countries that Nigerians are causing problems you always playing victim never wanting to address root causes. Your in denial

Same South African talking points and propaganda.

We have repeatedly been clear on our stance on illegal immigration and drug peddling. Apprehend these miscreants and deport them ASAP. These individuals are under your jurisdiction. The lawlessness in your country is what contributes to your inability to manage your crime crisis.

Do you want us to fly down there and start discussing the issue with you on your podcasts or you want us to come fetch them for you.

You can simply end diplomatic engagement with Nigeria completely, withdraw your consul, close your embassy and stop issuing visa's to Nigerians and your problem will be solved.

Looking for who to blame for your government's incompetence is not going to guilt trip anyone anymore. We see you for who you are.

Go back to social media when Okon was first introduced and read the vile things written about that boy simply because his late father was a Nigerian so much so that each time Okon was questioned on his Nigerianess he felt completely ashamed of it. How many athlethes of Nigerian heritage behave like that except in South Africa.

You did not suspect fraud of any kind. She jumped on her first and last name and immediately started to discriminate against her. You did this to a former beauty pagent who had Ugandan roots as well and you also did it to the now Miss South Africa who had roots in Swaziland. Its a pattern.

All these are speculations that have not been proven and I do believe this is the reason she is in court. That picture you posted says nothing about that location. To be frank, Chidinma looks more like a Mozambican than a Nigerian if you ask me.

If She was not born in South Africa then she has no case, however I find it strange how any sane lawyer, knowing these facts would take up her knowing that it would be fraudulent if she was unable to produce any evidence of birth in South Africa.

Rumour also has it that her Grandfather was Mozambican who was married to a South African and fathered Chidinma's mother before she actually left to Mozambic and then returned in adulthood. This would make her mother South African by blood though she did not claim it originally.

These sorts of things are very complicated issues which is why we have legal systems to sort them out but your people have made this young lady the target of your hate and issues with illegal immigration. That is the part I detest and are disgusted with.
