South Africa’s premier beauty pageant has descended into more chaos after the Department of Home Affairs announced on Wednesday night that it had uncovered evidence that the mother of contestant Chidimma Adetshina may have committed identity theft, putting her nationality into question.
Chidimma, one of the finalists for Miss SA, was already facing trouble for taking part in the contest, owing to her “foreign parentage,” even though she was born in South Africa.
