The caption read:
"Inside Miss SA pageant [finalist] Chidimma Adetshina's traditional wedding."
It is understood that the 23-year-old model of mixed nationality married and divorced her Nigerian husband — all within a year — in February, given that the pair share a one-year-old son reportedly conceived out of wedlock.
In the 35-second clip, Adetshina can be spotted at various intervals looking spruced up for the occasion.
The clip displays a montage of the various segments of the wedding, starting with the table decor and moving on to a before-and-after shot of Adetshina, all done up and wearing traditional Nigerian attire.
It was not immediately clear from the material from which Nigerian tribe Adetshina derives her heritage.
Another shot shows Adetshina, her husband and others attending the wedding, dancing and singing as the procession begins.
The clip ends with Adetshina and her husband sitting and conversing at their wedding table.
Naturally, the scenes further added to the argument about how the netball player and LLB student did not qualify to contest the Miss SA pageant.
However, in line with the Miss SA Organisation rules, contestants must be unmarried to enter the Miss SA pageant.
Impassioned netizens chirp away
In Adetshina's case, her status as a recent divorcee ensured she satisfied the rules, putting paid to that argument.
Briefly News looks at the commentary after the post attracted 120,000 views, 600 comments, 350 reposts, and 230 comments in its first three hours.
