Former Miss Universe Nigeria, Chidimma Adetshina, on Thursday appeared before a South African court as proceedings in the government’s bid to deport her resumed.
The 25-year-old beauty queen has been at the centre of a prolonged immigration dispute since she was arrested in Cape Town in June over allegations that she was residing in South Africa without valid immigration status.
At Thursday’s hearing before the Cape Town Regional Court, Adetshina filed an affidavit detailing the steps she had taken to regularise her stay in the country in a bid to prevent her deportation, The Cable reports.
The matter was, however, adjourned until Monday to allow the South African government file its response to her submissions.
