Chidinma Adetshina files affidavit as South Africa deportation case resumes

Chidinma Adetshina, formerly Miss Universe Nigeria 2024, is involved in a deportation case in South Africa after being accused of unlawful residence. The case resumed in court where she filed an affidavit detailing efforts to regularize her immigration status. Adetshina, born in Soweto to a Nigerian father and a Mozambican mother, faced public backlash in South Africa after competing in the Miss South Africa 2024 pageant due to her Nigerian heritage. She later won the Miss Universe Nigeria title and represented Nigeria at the Miss Universe 2024 pageant in Mexico. Immigration authorities have tracked her presence in South Africa and sought her detention to proceed with deportation. The South African Minister of Home Affairs rejected her request to review the denial of a 'letter of good cause' for herself and her son.
