South African Group Petitions For Chidimma Adetshina’s Removal From International Miss Universe Pageant Over Identity Fraud Allegations

Adetshina, along with her Mozambican-born mother, faces potential criminal charges linked to alleged identity theft, which has prompted the group to question her legitimacy as a candidate.

On Tuesday, South Africa’s Department of Home Affairs announced plans to revoke Adetshina and her mother’s South African identity and travel documents, citing insufficient evidence to support the legitimacy of their paperwork.
