"As a Namibian I don't understand the petition set on this girl. It just tells us that some South Africans only want you to belong to Africa but not South Africa. I fear raising my child in a place that sees my origin by clan and not race. South Africa let's remember that we are black people before we are African and we are African before we belong to a country."

"Imagine having a whole country pressed. Chichi, you are my queen pls 😂❤️"

kido_mtko shared:

"People who don't follow pageants are the ones saying SAns hate Chidi. Every year when there is a controversial contestant, the public raises their concerns. Research South African contestants like Bianca Schoombee & Levern Jose. Also research on Natasha Joubert how people were questioning her winning as she's previously represented the country internationally. It has nothing to do with hate because of her origin."
