The Department of Home Affairs revealed on Tuesday, 20 August that Chidimma Adetshina’s mother may have stolen the identity of a South African woman who was registered in 1982 in Tshwane.

WAS CHIDIMMA ADETSHINA BORN IN 2001?
The documents shared by the department on social media reveal that the child of the South African woman [whose identity was stolen by Chidimma Adetshina’s mother] is the one who was born in 2001.

 

“The child that was registered was Chidimma Adetshina. The information shared by the family of the lady whose ID was stolen in Tshwane matches the details contained in the department’s records,” adds the department.

Was the Miss SA finalist born in 2001 when the South African woman also gave birth to her child or was she born before 2001?

Sowetan reports that she is 23 years old, and she was born at Chris Hani Baragwanath Academic Hospital to a Nigerian father and mother of Mozambique descent.SOUTH AFRICANS REACT TO MISS SA FINALIST: ‘NOBODY BELIEVED SHE WAS 23’
@jessy_jessss: “Her lying to the Nigerian organisers of the pageant proves she is not innocent. She definitely knew how she obtained that ID hence the minute she was exposed she quit Miss SA. Also, nobody believed she’s 23 with that face.”

@MaggyValen: “She does. She looks maybe between 27 and 29/30. Jerrrr maan, this child.”

@Dules_k76: “She must be stripped of that ID number and be deported to Nigeria. Her mom must be arrested. Guys you don’t understand the pain ye identity theft some of us have experienced it.”

@Alicemakochieng: “You’re correct. So, Chidimma is way older than her purported 23 years nton nton. She wasn’t born in 2001, that’s when the original ID owner discovered a child had been registered under her stolen ID.”

@muzi2104: “I’m even suspecting that she wasn’t born in South Africa.”

@Gracious__Mee: “Exactly. Something doesn’t add up. Her mom stole someone’s identity, the next thing Chidimma shares a birth year with the victim’s child? In which hospital or clinic was she born?”
