A South African group, known as the Progressive Forces for South Africa, has launched a petition to stop Miss Universe Nigeria, Chidimma Adetshina, from competing in the forthcoming Miss Universe Pageant.
The model is currently in Mexico to represent Nigeria in the pageant billed to take place on Saturday, November 16, 2024.
In an open letter to Miss Universe, the group said: “We are truly excited about the upcoming edition of the biggest event in the pageant industry, since a Miss Universe crown is a career defining moment for a title holder from different corners of the world.
Even though we are excited, we are greatly concerned about Miss Universe Nigeria, Chidimma Adetshina, whose mother Anabela Rungo, has been fould guilty of committing identity fraud prior to participating in Miss Universe Nigeria.
A well-known activist, Kwena Molekwa, risked her own life and that of her team, working tirelessly to gather the facts regarding this contestant. The South African public was shocked with stories of identity fr+ud, dr+g dealinsg, and a variety of other heinous crimes connected to the mentioned contestant and her family.
The Department of Home Affairs in South Africa was prompted to lodge an investigation after the South African public outcry when it was suspected that the mentioned contestant may have obtained her South African identification in a fraudulent manner.
Overwhelming evidence was shared on social media, especially X, where it was proven beyond doubt that Anabela Rungo stole the identity of a South African child where the impact of identity theft had devastating consequences.
