Former Miss Universe Nigeria 2024, Chidimma Adetshina, has appeared before the Cape Town Regional Court to challenge the Department of Home Affairs’ effort to deport her from South Africa.
According to reports, the court appearance followed an application by Adetshina’s legal team contesting the lawfulness of the deportation process by the country’s Department of Home Affairs.
Adetshina was arrested in June after Home Affairs alleged that she entered South Africa illegally and was later brought before court as the legal battle continues over possible deportation.
The court proceedings mark the latest development in the immigration dispute surrounding the former Miss South Africa finalist.
Adetshina, born in Soweto to a Nigerian father and a Mozambican mother, had initially contested for the Miss South Africa 2024 crown before withdrawing from the competition amid controversy surrounding her family’s citizenship status.
