VIDEO: I have been treated unfairly, targeted in South Africa, says Chidimma Adetshina

Chidimma Adetshina, Miss Universe Nigeria, has spoken out about being "treated unfairly and targeted" in South Africa amid her citizenship legal battle. According to Punch Nigeria, Adetshina expressed her concerns about her situation.

South Africa has been experiencing anti-migrant violence, economic stagnation, and corruption allegations, which have eroded support for the ruling ANC ahead of local elections in November, as reported by DW News. The country has also seen impassable roads, poverty, unemployment, and crime, with a recent wave of violence targeting foreign nationals claiming several lives and forcing over 176,000 people to flee, mostly to neighboring countries such as Zimbabwe, Malawi, and Mozambique, as per DW English.

The situation has led to growing anti-migrant sentiment, with some groups calling for migrants to leave South Africa. In response, President Cyril Ramaphosa expressed concern and shame over the abuse and violence against citizens of other countries. Meanwhile, eighty-three Nigerians were recently evacuated from South Africa and returned to Nigeria amid renewed concerns over xenophobic attacks, as reported by Daily Post Nigeria.
