What you need to know about Chidimma Adetshina
Chidimma is thought to have lived in Soweto, Gauteng, though there were some doubts about this after an identity theft controversy surfaced. The Miss Universe runner-up is also reported to be a netball player. She attended Hoërskool Bosmansdam High School in Cape Town, Western Cape, and advocated for change in addressing gender-based violence. Chidimma is believed to have a Nigerian father and a Mozambican mother.
Adetshina initially competed in the Miss South Africa pageant, having been born and raised in the country. However, she faced trolling and xenophobic abuse due to her Nigerian father. Last month, South African authorities announced plans to revoke her identity papers amid allegations that her mother, of Mozambican descent, had committed identity fraud to secure South African nationality.
Chidimma decides to relocate to Nigeria permanently
Earlier, Briefly News reported that once again, the model Vanessa Chidimma Adetshina became the talk of the town on social media after her recent decision was revealed.
Recently, the former Miss SA finalist revealed that she will be relocating to Nigeria permanently after Home Affairs decided to withdraw her identity documents alongside those of her mother.
