In this video, Chidimma Vanessa Adetshina, the South African model whose qualification for a spot as a Miss South Africa finalist drew controversy because of her Nigerian descent, has announced her plan to participate in Miss Universe Nigeria 2024.

The contest organisers had established that Ms Adetshina is from South Africa. In interviews, she has also stated that she was raised in Cape Town and was born in Soweto, a township adjacent to Johannesburg.

However, online critics looked into every detail of her life, and claimed that her mother was not South African, but originally from Mozambique, and her father Nigerian.

Adetshina accepted the new invitation from the organisers following her withdrawal from the Miss South Africa. She also thanked those who supported her amid the harassment she faced online.
