South African social media users are questioning Vanessa Chidimma Adetshina’s eligibility to compete in the Miss South Africa pageant.
Fans are demanding proof of her parents’ identities, and online sleuths have discovered a photo of her Nigerian father.
The uproar began when Chidimma’s participation in the Miss SA pageant sparked debate about her eligibility due to her Nigerian heritage.
Many South Africans argue she should not be allowed to compete.
Prominent figures like Pearl Thusi, Prince Kaybee, and DJ Sbu have shown their support for Chidimma. Despite the chaos, fans continued to ask for photos of the model’s parents.
After extensive searching, a user named @Miz_Ruraltarain shared a picture of Chidimma’s father, Michael Adetshina, captioning it: “The Nigerian imposter Chidimma Vanessa Adetshina & her father, Michael Adetshina, aka Okey Wawa.”
The post received mixed reactions from social media users, with some also demanding to see a picture of Chidimma’s mother.

Is unclear which mother is this, the stepmother who is allegedly "Zulu " or the biological Mozambican mother with strong SA roots…. but so we are mapping this girl's lifeline to add the missing information.
She apparently attended Hoerskool Bosmansdam.
