The return of Miss Universe First Runner-Up 2024, Chidimma Adeshina to Cape Town has seen some South Africans calling for the removal of their Home Affairs Minister, Leon Schreiber on social media......CONTINUE READING THE ARTICLE FROM THE SOURCE>>>>>
This comes after a viral video allegedly showed Chidimma hanging out at a café in Waterfront, Cape Town, triggering some South Africans as they queried how she ‘’managed” to re-enter the country.
Recall that in 2024, the SA’s Department of Home Affairs claimed that an investigation had found that there was prima facie evidence that Chidimma’s mum might have committed fraud and identity theft.
This saw Chidimma withdrawing from the Miss South Africa competition amid backlash and accusations of her not being a South African.
After stepping down from the Miss SA competition, she received an invite from the Miss Nigeria beauty pageant, which she won.
