Chidimma Adetshina, the beauty queen who made headlines for her nationality controversy, is to be stripped of her South African identity and travel documents.
This decision comes after an investigation by the Department of Home Affairs, which questioned her eligibility to compete in the Miss South Africa pageant due to her mother’s Mozambican roots and Nigerian father.
Adetshina, a law student born in Soweto, South Africa, withdrew from the competition in August amid allegations that her mother may have committed “identity theft” to obtain South African nationality.
Following her exit, the law student accepted an invitation to compete in Miss Universe Nigeria, and won the title. She is in Mexico to represent the country at the Miss Universe competition.
The controversy surrounding Adetshina’s nationality sparked a wave of xenophobic vitriol in South Africa, leaving her traumatised and in need of therapy.
In an interview with the BBC, she expressed emotional distress and revealed plans to seek professional help.
In a recent announcement to a parliamentary committee, Tommy Makhode, the top civil servant at the Department of Home Affairs, confirmed that Adetshina’s documents would be revoked due to her and her mother’s failure to provide reasons for eligibility by the deadline.
The case has been referred to the Hawks, a special police unit investigating serious crimes, which has concluded that it was a “case of fraud.”
Makhode noted that prosecutors are reviewing the matter and further decisions will be made from them.
Adetshina has maintained her pride in her South African and Nigerian heritage.
Popular content creator Peller calls out Father for the leaked video showing him in bed with another man, showing they were either having fun or simply just friends, but people on social media would not let the video slide.
In a video made by Peller, he said, “I’m tired of all my family members suddenly wanting to join social media. I can’t believe people are now calling my father gay just because he was lying on a bed with another man doesn’t automatically mean he’s gay.
People are too quick to jump to conclusions and at this point, I’m tired.
“Dad, how many times did i call you to stop sleeping with your fellow man? This is what my mom has been complaining about for years, and you haven’t changed.
Don’t you know this is affecting me as your son? Most of my fans have been criticizing me on TikTok that my father is gày. I’m not happy about this at all”

Popular content creator, Jarvis gives reasons why she shaved ‘gorimapa’ during wedding rites
Content creator, Amadou Elizabeth Aminata, popularly known as Jarvis, has dismissed reports suggesting that she shaved her hair ‘gorimapa’ as part of the traditional rites for her wedding.
In a video shared online, Jarvis explained that she opted for the hairstyle simply because her stylist asked her to cut her hair, stressing that it had nothing to do with any marriage ritual.
She said, “The wedding is finally over and I’m super happy. I’m proud of myself and my husband.
“For those of you speculating that I barbed my hair for my wedding as part of some tribal marriage rites, shut up.
“I barbed my hair because I wanted my hair installation to be perfect. That is what my hair stylist recommended because I have a very stubborn hair. Most of my hair like my frontal has not been sitting pretty because of my front hair.”
Jarvis and fellow TikTok star, Peller tied the knot traditionally on August 1, 2026.
The couple held their white wedding on Saturday, August 8, 2026.
