Nigeria: 'Chidimma, Go Home' - South Africans Protest Outside Court As Beauty Queen Battles Immigration Case
- On Wednesday, the Cape Town Regional High Court postponed final judgment in Chidimma Adetshina's citizenship case until 27 February 2027, as Magistrate Jane Kgorane reviews her application to reinstate her South African citizenship.
- Home Affairs seeks to detain Chidimma and her son pending deportation, alleging her Mozambican mother committed identity fraud when registering the 25-year-old's birth in Soweto to a Nigerian father.
- Chidimma argues she cannot be held liable for her mother's actions, emphasizing her birth in South Africa and her reliance on legal channels to determine her status while remaining out of detention.
- Speaking to media outside court, Chidimma called for the rule of law and guidance by the spirit of Ubuntu, while members of Operation Dudula protested the proceedings, demanding her deportation to Nigeria.
- She will return to the regional court on 27 February 2027 to continue her High Court challenge to the Department of Home Affairs' decision to revoke her South African citizenship.
