“Being part of the Miss South Africa 2024 competition has been an incredible experience. However, after much careful consideration, I have made the difficult decision to withdraw from the competition for the safety and well-being of my family and myself. With the support of the Miss South Africa Organisation, I leave with a heart full of gratitude for this amazing journey,” Chidimma continued.
Her decision follows an announcement by the Department of Home Affairs on Wednesday, 7 August, revealing that prima facie evidence had been found suggesting that Chidimma’s mother may have allegedly committed fraud to obtain her citizenship.
As the Department of Home Affairs continues its investigation, Chidimma’s withdrawal has added a significant twist to the competition. In her closing remarks, Chidimma extended her best wishes to her fellow finalists.
“I want to take this opportunity to wish my fellow finalists all the best for the remainder of the competition. Whoever wears the crown will represent us all,” she concluded.
