Deputy Minister of Home Affairs, Njabulo Nzuza, has addressed the ongoing controversy surrounding Miss South Africa finalist Vanessa Chidimma Adetshina’s citizenship status. In recent statements, Nzuza clarified that his department was not consulted regarding any challenges to Adetshina’s citizenship, a key issue in the debate about her eligibility for the pageant.

The debate centers on whether Adetshina, who has Nigerian heritage, meets the criteria for competing in Miss South Africa. There have been conflicting claims about her citizenship, with some questioning if she is eligible given that she has a Nigerian father. According to South African citizenship laws, individuals must have at least one South African parent or hold permanent residency to be eligible for certain national roles or competitions.

Nzuza’s remarks emphasize that the Department of Home Affairs was not approached to contest Adetshina’s citizenship status. “Citizenship matters and eligibility for public roles are governed by specific regulations,” Nzuza stated. “The department has not been asked to review or contest the citizenship status of Chidimma Adetshina.”

The statement has sparked a reaction among South Africans, many of whom have questioned the Miss South Africa organization’s claim that it vetted Adetshina’s citizenship status thoroughly. Some have criticized Nzuza for his comments, arguing that they undermine the credibility of the Miss South Africa pageant’s vetting process.

Social media users have weighed in with a mix of support and skepticism. “If the department wasn’t involved, how can Miss SA be sure of her eligibility?” one commenter asked. Others have defended Nzuza, urging a clearer understanding of citizenship laws and the role of various organizations in the vetting process.

As the debate continues, it underscores the complexities of citizenship and eligibility criteria in national competitions, and the need for transparent and consistent application of these rules.
