The official states that her status as a citizen follows that of her mother, who was registered as a South African. Now that her status is questioned, Chidimma's status is also under the microscope.

"In the event that the director-general cancels the identity document, it would mean the registration is fraudulent, and therefore, that status is fraudulent under the law," he said.

He also said that the father is still looking into the father as he was involved.
