According to a BBC report, Chidimma Adesthina will lose her South African identity and travel documents. The Department of Home Affairs investigated her case after becoming a Miss South Africa pageant finalist. In August, she withdrew from the race. Her mother has been accused of committing “identity theft” to become a South African national.
