S’African protesters demand Adetshina’s exit

Protesters supporting the March and March movement gathered outside the Cape Town Regional Court in South Africa to demand that former Miss South Africa finalist and Miss Universe Nigeria 2024 winner, Chidimma Adetshina, be removed from the country. The protesters carried placards with various inscriptions and called for Adetshina's departure as her immigration case came before the court.

The case initially focused on her citizenship and eligibility to participate in the Miss South Africa beauty pageant, but has since expanded into a dispute over immigration laws, detention powers, and disputed identity documents. The Department of Home Affairs informed the court that Adetshina has no valid legal status in the country, and immigration authorities are seeking authority to detain her pending deportation.
