The internet reacts with split views

While some fans celebrated the beauty queen's milestone, others fiercely voiced their criticism.

Some netizens expressed their discontent with the stunner being in South Africa, let alone hosting a party in the country.

@Zikode_ka_Gasa said:

"We are ready, sweetie."

@msin94 commented:

"Enjoy your birthday. Let those who cry, cry more. It’s your money. Enjoy it whereever."

@MazedOmuhl complimented her looks:

"Beautiful girl."

Other comments came from seeming trolls, who kept bringing up Chidimma's past immigration status.

One user, @leydamann, kicked it off with a question:

"Did you make an effort to at least meet the person whose identity was stolen for you to flourish?"

Another user, @McMOF55, pointed out:

"You are not South African. No one spells 'Jozi' like that."

@heisalive4all stated:

"If bravery was a person."

Another voice on the platform, @anselmorji, commented:

"I'm proudly Nigerian. I used to like this girl but she is so daft for real. You leave celebrating here in Nigeria where you're loved to South Africa where you are hated. Just imagine the comments you're getting from South Africans. You're beautiful but I don't think you are intelligent."

"Didn’t Home Affairs issue a cancellation of your visa and citizenship?"

@mfeka_winston pointed out what an earlier user also noticed:

"Is that how the shorthand for Johannesburg is spelt? You know she's not from South Africa."

A neutral comment came from @LesleyBanda2, who shared:

"She is coming as a visitor, bethunana. She is bringing dollars, boosting tourism and the entertainment sector."

Chidimma Adetshina celebrates 25th birthday amid controversy

Chidimma entered the Miss South Africa competition as a finalist.

She has a Nigerian father and a mother with Mozambican roots who is registered as a South African citizen.

Questions arose about her "South African-ness" due to her non-traditional South African name and heritage, with many online users claiming she wasn't "South African enough" to represent the country.

This escalated into accusations that her mother's South African identity documents were obtained fraudulently through identity theft, allegedly stealing the identity of an innocent South African woman.

The Department of Home Affairs investigated and found prima facie evidence of fraud and identity theft by her mother.
