In a video seen by SaharaReporters, Adetshina said she remained confident in the South African judicial system and would continue to pursue the matter through legal channels.
Former Miss South Africa contestant and Miss Universe Nigeria 2024 winner, Chidimma Adetshina, has said she believes she has been treated unfairly and targeted in South Africa, following the postponement of her legal case challenging her potential deportation and detention.
Adetshina spoke to journalists after the Cape Town Regional Court postponed the case, in which she is seeking legal protection over her status and potential removal from South Africa.
In a video seen by SaharaReporters, Adetshina said she remained confident in the South African judicial system and would continue to pursue the matter through legal channels.
“Firstly, I would like to say that I am grateful that I once again have been able to get an opportunity to have my faith in our courts, and I remind everyone that I was born in South Africa,” she said.
“I have applied through the proper legal channels to have my status and citizenship determined.”
Adetshina said she believed she had been singled out during the controversy surrounding her citizenship and immigration status.
“I believe that I have been treated unfairly and targeted and there has been an attempt to make me an example, but my message is not going to be one out of anger,” she said.
