DRAMA QUEEN 'IS BACK'
The controversial former Miss South Africa contestant was forced to withdraw from last year's competition after doubts about her citizenship, which led to her mother Anabela Rungo currently being on trial for identity fraud.
She however was invited to compete in Miss Universe Nigeria on the back of her father's citizenship and won the competition.
Now a year after the controversy, she has snubbed returning to hand over the crown to her successor.
Adetshina has also reportedly cut ties with Nigeria's beauty pageant, unfollowing them on Instagram and announcing her absence from the grand finale.
A TikTok fan page shared a video, expressing their excitement about seeing Adetshina crown the next beauty queen.
The former Miss SA contestant commented: 'Unfortunately, I won't be there.'
It is also reported that she is back in Cape Town.
And mense are diep kwaad.
Netizens have taken to X to call out the Home Affairs minister, Leon Schreiber, and to ask him how Adetshina entered SA.
@ashseraka wrote: 'How did Chidimma Adetshina get back in the country @Leon_Schreib?'
'@HomeAffairsSA @Leon_Schreib How is it possible that a person with known fake identification documents is back in the country?' @LixMiller said.
And Nigerians are also targeting the 24-year-old beauty, saying she is ungrateful because the Miss Universe Nigeria organisation gave her a platform last year after she withdrew from Miss SA.

Annie Mthembu opens up about her failed marriage to Da Guru
Da Guru has since publicly apologised to Annie. Real Housewives of Durban star Annie Mthembu has broken her silence on her separation from husband Kgolo 'Da Guru' Mthembu. During a podcast with Lungelo KM on Engineer Your Life, Annie spoke candidly about the pain and emotional toll of their split. She said she had remained quiet for so long because she was still processing everything that had happened. 'I didn't want to speak from an overly emotional space. You also don't want too many people in your life while you're trying to figure it out,' she added. Annie and Kgolo met in 2016 when she worked as his assistant. They tied the knot in 2021 in a lavish ceremony at La Paris Estate in Franschhoek, Cape Town. She shared that their separation was due to her husband's infidelity. 'No one likes being cheated on. It makes you question yourself a lot,' she said. 'Admitting I was being cheated on felt like saying I wasn't good enough. People told me things — some true, some not. When you don't know what to believe, you start losing your mind. I was highly embarrassed. I wasn't in a good place.' Annie said she tried to fix her marriage but eventually had to let go for the sake of her children. 'I just wanted to protect all of us, even though I wasn't being protected. Everybody knew things I didn't. Still, I wanted to protect myself, my children, and our family. Even though I knew he was doing his thing, I still wanted us to be a family.' Annie revealed they have been separated for two years, and this December will mark three years since their split. 'I am still fighting the unforgiveness. They say time heals — I'm waiting for time to do its job,' she said. Da Guru apologises to Annie After Lungelo posted a clip of Annie's interview on Instagram, Da Guru took to the comments section to apologise. 'No matter the personal struggles I was facing, there's never an excuse for dishonouring God's blessings. I deeply regret the pain I've caused you. As the head of the family, I let everyone down. Annie, from the bottom of my heart, I wish you true love, healing and peace. Farewell Pretty Wings,' he wrote.
