The confirmation was posted on Twitter (X) by @Miz_Ruraltarain, who wrote:

"Breaking News: After months of @HomeAffairsSA @NPA_Prosecutes going around in circles with Chidimma Adetshina and her mother's identity fraud, we finally have a lead. Home Affairs officials say they will proceed to withdraw the identity documents of former Miss South Africa contestant Chidimma Adetshina & her mother, Anabela Rungo. According to information, the useless @HomeAffairsSA minister Leon didn't even pitch today in Parliament. The investigators referred the matter to the NPA now because Chidimma Adetshina, a Mozambican mother, failed to respond to the investigators' letters. This has yearned the result of the SA government's withdrawal of the SA government."
