Nelson Mandela’s great-grandchild Mayibuye Mandela has called on the government to reimburse the victim of alleged identity theft in an investigation into Chidimma Adetshina’s nationality.

The former Miss SA contestant received backlash from South Africans for weeks, with some doubting her eligibility to be the face of the nation because her father is reportedly Nigerian.

A recent investigation by the Department of Home Affairs found prima facie indications of fraud and identity theft committed by Chidimma Adetshina’s mother, who is from Mozambique.

Mandela recently wrote a letter to Home Affairs demanding compensation for the emotional, financial and societal distress suffered by that nameless family.

“You cannot excuse the depression, the anxiety, psychological problem that she has faced trying to fight against this fraudulent act done by Chidimma’s mother with the assistance of the [Home Affairs] officials,” said Mandela

In the letter Mandela listed two “immediate actions” he thought were essential in resolving the case of this “fraudulent act”.

The first was compensation of 23 million rands (2 billion naira) for all the financial losses they have endured over the past 23 years.

Additionally, the activist called for the arrest and prosecution of all those implicated in the case, including Adetshina’s mother and complicit Home Affairs employees.

He said these two options were essential in restoring the family’s dignity. Mandela said the law is straightforward and should the accused be found guilty, theirs and Chidimma’s South African citizenship should be revoked.

“Chidimma is a beneficiary of a crime. This is not a fight against the beautiful lady but against a crime committed allegedly,” he told The Citizen.

Mandela said if the department refuses to compensate the family, it should be taken to court. He said should the matter reach court, the department would probably have to pay more than the R23 million he calculated.

“R23 million (N2 billion) is a very small amount for the suffering of that family. For the trauma and that they’ve been ripped off for the past two decades,” said Mandela.

Home Affairs has since called for patience as it continues its investigation. It also warned against “inflaming divisions”.

Spokesperson for the Africa Diaspora Forum (ADF), Ngqabutho Mabhena, said immigrants in South Africa were simply looking for greener pastures.

“What would happen is that naturally there would be competition between those who are also in the same space of business,” said Mabhena.

He believes South Africans were not xenophobic and a struggling South African economy has placed a strain on the relationship between South Africans and foreign nationals.

“South Africans have been living side by side with foreign nationals even during the days of apartheid,” he said.

These black South Africans always have power to harass and investigate their fellow Africans, while the people who raped their fathers in the ass and stole their nation, plus the Chinese, Indians etc, are worshipped.

Apartheid really messed up their heads. See what this Yanki guy is saying about them.

Has the investigation into the case been concluded, or you're just speculating at this point that she committed Identity fraud?

Preliminary findings found the mother had committed identity fraud. Everything else will be revealed in court.

If the mother is stripped of her SA citizenship, so will Chidimma. SA law says you only become SA citizen at birth if one or both your parents are South Africans.

I see.

So why is the media focused on Chidimma instead of her mother? Chidimma is a victim based on what we know at this point, right?

Chidimma is the one who entered Miss SA - it's a big deal in SA. Thats why the spotlight is on her.


CHECK ARISE NEWS REVIEW ⤵️

Arise News gave a glowing review of the production of the Miss SA pageant just days before Chidimma Adetshina seemingly took a swipe at the contest following the saga that surrounded her in South Africa.

ARISE ANCHOR (Kachi Offiah):

"I have to give it to the Miss SA organisers because the quality of the show that they put up also explains the level of interest in this. Let's talk about this event away from the controversy - do you see the quality of the show that they put out there?"



https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LNFVZfp0jVc?si=2sBJEu1pgq0dx2P5

GUEST (Sommie Maduagwu/Pageant Coach & Lawyer):

"SA for a lot of African countries is the standard. In pageantry we have something called Sash-Factor Countries and SA is one of them. It means when you go out for pageants you're the country to lookout for, you're the one to beat.

And we've seen that year after year - Miss SA doesn't spare any expense. There's a certain intentionality that South Africans have when it comes to pageants. We in Nigeria, I for one, definitely look up to them because they kill it every single time".

ANCHOR:
"So what's the problem, why aren't we getting in on this?"

Then Sommie goes on to list the reasons.

I get it. It's a big deal in SA. Chidimma entered for a competition just like everyone else, but there was controversy surrounding her citizenship.

However, she's a victim of possible fraud based on what we know at this point, correct?

It seems the spotlight is on her like she did something wrong.

Check the headline of your story for example: "Nelson Mandela's Grandchild Sues Chidimma N2B For Identify Fraud"

I meant Miss SA is a big deal. That's why racists and bullies were also exposed and they pulled out in recent years because the public investigated them on social media just like Chidimma. I showed you their pictures.

What jab

She dissed Miss SA by saying Miss Universe Nigeria was the most prestigious beauty pageant in Africa. That was when she announced she would participate in Miss Universe Nigeria yesterday. We all know Miss SA is far superior.

Even Arise News applauded the great quality of Miss SA. Check the thread:

See what a dubious omo igbo has done to the image of Nigeria in SA.

Will you keep quiet n address the issue of fraud raise in the article.

You should ask why South Africans elected Mia le Roux as Miss South Africa when they all know that her grandparents are lands thieves
who stole lands from the indigenous black Africans. This is the highest hypocrisy

South Africa and envy are like 5 and 6

I hope someone will also drag Murray Bruce to court for trying to bring someone of questionable identity to Nigeria.

If that is Mandela's grandchild, then Mandela fought in vain.

Emotions apart,from what I just read from the comments of the south Above,I think it's high time we called a spade a spade.......And that's the fact that Chidinma is in a very big bag of shiit right now.........

Coming to the issue of citizenship. Well, it's not clear whether the so-called home affairs of south Africa found any evidence of crime against Chidimma's mother or they simply put out such statement to calm their raging xenophobic mob. What is clear is that the investigation was a witch-hunt driven by xenophobia. If I were the winner, I wouldn't be proud having the crown when someone more popular was bullied out. It's also interesting how she has suddenly become their citizen now she is coming to miss universe Nigeria.

Please allow the girl to breathe

Just thinking bout all the losers that told me "we f your women". This is what's gonna happen to all ya lousy sp€rm you hungry madahukkas! 🇳🇬💩💩💩
