Popular South African television personality Maps Maponyane is reportedly set to tie the knot with former Miss SA Shudufhadzo Musida.

It is alleged the couple are set to take the big step. The couple have been romantically linked since 2022.

Both Shudufhadzo and Maps are reportedly currently in the Seychelles, enjoying a luxurious tropical holiday.

Sources close to the couple suggest that a delegation has been sent to the village of Ha-Masia in Limpopo to ask for Shudufhadzo’s hand in marriage.

“Maps is serious about building a family unit with Shudufhadzo and he has contemplating on his decision for a while now, and it’s finally here. He can’t hide his intentions any longer as wedding bells are looming,” a source said.

Another source said: “His decision was made during their attendance at the HollywoodBets Durban July a few weeks ago. They have everything going for them in their careers.”

When pressed for comment by the publication, Maps didn’t confirm nor deny the allegations. He said: “You put me on the spot, you know I don’t like talking about my private life in the media (laughing). The thing is that I’m busy with my workout at the gym, hence I can’t talk properly (laughing).”

The Department of Home Affairs has cleared up the confusion surrounding Miss SA finalist Chidimma Adetshina, whose nationality has been questioned.

Since revealing that her father is Nigerian and her mother is a South African with Mozambican roots, the 23-year-old has been victimized by angry pageant fans who believe she should not win or represent South Africa.On social media, various high-profile figures, including Prince Kaybee, Pearl Thusi, Gayton McKenzie, Herman Mashaba, and Julius Malema, have shared their comments on the scandal.

Speaking to Clement Manyathela on 702, Home Affairs Deputy Minister Njabulo Nzuza attempted to set the record straight on Chidimma Adetshina and questions over her citizenship.Nzuza began by claiming that he was not at liberty to publicly reveal confidential information about any citizen, including Chidimma.However, he did clear up confusion on what constitutes citizenship, which, according to the Citizenship Act, is acquired by birth, descent, or by naturalization.

Chidinma Vanessa Nzuza said, “It is commonly acquired either by soil or by blood. When we say soil, it’s because you are born in that country, and then you become a citizen.

“One country which has adopted this is America, whereby if you are born there, you become a US citizen. [However], in South Africa, you get citizenship by blood. One of your parents must be a South African. Then you qualify.

He continued: “If a person suspects that there is a person who is unworthy of citizenship or might have wrongly obtained citizenship, they do have a right to come to Home Affairs, and then we investigate.“If citizenship has been obtained in a wrong way, we have taken back the citizenship and indicated that it was obtained via fraud.

“In some cases, its not the actual person, but it is the parents of that person who have obtained citizenship. When we take away the citizenship which was erroneously or fraudulently obtained, then the child also loses citizenship”.

“I’ve heard a lot of people say that if you are born in South Africa, you are a citizen. No, in South Africa, citizenship is by blood”.Clarifying, Nzuza added that a child born in South Africa to foreign parents could obtain citizenship if their parents had a permit residency.

He continued: “The children follow the status of their parents.

“If a parent is here on a permanent residence and their child is born here, then that child qualifies for permanent residency.

“If a South African mother adopts a child, then that child can become a South African.”

The South African reached out to the Miss SA organization for comment. It confirmed that both Chidimma Adetshina and her mother are South African citizens. It also confirmed that Chidimma met all the necessary criteria to enter the pageant.

The organization also declined to comment further on the social media backlash.
