Quick Glance: Chidimma Adetshina's SA ID status and legal process explained
- Chidimma Adetshina, a top 13 finalist of Miss SA, is confident she will achieve success at SunBet Arena in Pretoria in August.
- According to immigration lawyer Ashraf Essop, contestant Chidimma Adetshina will remain a South African citizen until the home affairs department completes their investigation into her mother's citizenship status. Even if fraud is proven, a comprehensive legal process would be necessary to revoke her identification number.
- There has been a discussion about Adetshina's citizenship as she was born in Soweto to a Nigerian father and a mother of Mozambican descent. On Wednesday, the home affairs department disclosed that their investigation into her citizenship revealed potential evidence of identity fraud by her mother in 2001.
- Essop emphasized the importance of home affairs finalizing their investigations and adhering to the procedures outlined in the Promotion of Administrative Justice Act to allow Adetshina’s mother to challenge their findings.
