Former Miss South Africa contestant and Miss Universe Nigeria 2024 winner, Chidimma Adetshina, has accused South African authorities of treating her unfairly and targeting her amid a legal battle over her potential deportation and detention.
Adetshina made the remarks on Wednesday after the Cape Town Regional Court postponed proceedings in her case.
Speaking to journalists after the court session, the former beauty queen maintained that she was born in South Africa and expressed confidence in the country’s judicial system.
“Firstly, I would like to say that I am grateful that I once again have been able to get an opportunity to have my faith in our courts, and I remind everyone that I was born in South Africa,” she said.
Adetshina said she had followed the appropriate legal process to establish her citizenship and status, while accusing authorities of attempting to use her case as an example.
