chidimma adetshina

Chidimma Vanessa Onwe Adetshina is a South African model and beauty pageant who competed in Miss South Africa 2024. She made into top 11 finalists until she was called to be removed from the contest due to public protestation over her nationality.
She faced scrutiny from some South Africans who questioned her ability to represent the country due to her mixed heritage. Conversely, she received substantial support from many individuals who viewed her as an embodiment of South Africa's diverse population. Prominent figures and organizations publicly defended her, advocating for an end to xenophobic sentiments and promoting inclusivity for all South Africans, including the EFF. A further controversy arose when a video surfaced online showing Adetshina celebrating her progress in the pageant with her Nigerian family members.
Home Affairs Minister, Leon Schreiber confirmed that the department will investigate the nationality of Adetshina only after her family requested it.
