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.

South Africa has been experiencing anti-migrant violence, economic stagnation, and corruption allegations, which are eroding support for the ruling ANC ahead of local elections. The country has also seen a wave of violence targeting foreign nationals, resulting in several deaths and over 176,000 people fleeing, mostly to neighboring countries such as Zimbabwe, Malawi, and Mozambique.

According to the Daily Post Nigeria, eighty-three Nigerians were recently evacuated from South Africa and returned to Nigeria amid renewed concerns over xenophobic attacks and hostility towards African migrants. The repatriation was made possible through the financial support of private individuals.
