Home Affairs investigations have found preliminary evidence of fraud committed by Chidimma Adetshina's mother.

The Department of Home Affairs is investigating the citizenship of Chidimma Adetshina, a contestant in the upcoming Miss SA event, based on a request from the event organizers. The investigation, which has expanded in scope, has found prima facie indications of fraud and identity theft allegedly committed by Adetshina's mother in 2001. 

This fraud affected an innocent South African mother who couldn't register her child. The Department is also investigating any officials involved and considering the legal implications for Adetshina's citizenship. They plan to press criminal charges against those implicated and emphasize the need for digital modernization to prevent future fraud. The investigation will continue, and a final update will be provided upon its conclusion.
