Home Affairs spokesperson Duwayne Esau revealed they issued Promotion of Administrative Justice Act letters to both parties. After that, their documents will be taken.

"The owners of these documents can use them until the department has withdrawn them," Esau said.

How ActionSA ramped up the call for justice

ActionSA recently wrote a letter to the department questioning how Chidimma's mother could travel freely to Nigeria while under investigation for identity theft.

IOL reported the party's chief whip, Lerato Ngobeni, was alarmed when Adetshina's mother was seen in Nigeria attending the Miss Universe Nigeria event to support her daughter. Nghobeni accused the department of negligence.

"It is therefore alarming that the main subject of this ongoing investigation was seen in Nigeria this past weekend during a television broadcast of Miss Universe Nigeria."
