Mia Le Roux defends Chidimma Adetshina
Miss South Africa Mia Le Roux has defended fellow model Chidimma Adetshina, who pulled out from the race after receiving massive backlash on social media. South Africans demanded an investigation into her legitimacy to compete in the pageant because of her Nigerian heritage.
In a video shared on Instagram by @allthingsmisssa, Mia said it was challenging for the other contestants because they know Chichi personally. She said:
"It was extremely hard for us because each one of us personally knows and loves Chichi. We truly believe that she did not deserve it, as we know she’s phenomenal, powerful, and beautiful in her own right. She deserved her spot on Miss South Africa."

"Good way to answer a complex question. Buuuuuut Chichi should have done better. She still has opportunity to do better esp if she can prove she was born here. She can argue her own citizenship and not attach it to her parents. The rents must answer if they committed crime."

"Thank you 🔥🔥🔥🔥Miss SA we love you."
