JOHANNESBURG - Former Miss SA contestant Chidimma Adetshina's mother has been detained by Home Affairs in Cape Town.
Anabela Rungo's South African documentation was revoked after it was found to have been fraudulently obtained.
Immigration lawyer Ashraf Essop says once your documents are declared invalid you have two options.
You either leave the country on your own, or be detained and deported.
Essop says the circumstances following the invalidation of Rungo’s documentation in September last year remain unclear.
However, Essop suggests that had Rungo voluntarily surrendered her documents, arrangements for her deportation could have been made.
