Chidimma Adetshina withdraws from Miss SA competition

JOHANNESBURG - Chidimma Adetshina has withdrawn from the Miss South Africa pageant.

This comes after the Patriotic Alliance instituted urgent legal action against Adetshina and Miss South Africa to prevent her from participating.

This after Home Affairs found evidence that Adetshina's mother, who has Mozambican roots, may have committed fraud and 'identity theft in obtaining South African citizenship.

The department says it is considering legal action after it concludes investigations.
