BBC lost its credibility year's ago
Hypocrite can you address the issue of the person who is suffering due to Adetshina's mother stealing the identity. We won't be bullied by journalists anymore who try to silence us. Why should SA tolerate lawlessness. Enough is enough
What is your your problem with Chidemma?
Wait until the mother is convicted...
Lest you make your self a stupid person
Where is that person if not propaganda and xenophobia.
So in your head id numbers are automatically created. Every child born in SA have a green card/ clinic card which is obtained soon after the child is born with his or her mothers id attached and meaning that the child's id number is registered at birth. When home affairs issues you id its the very same number on your birth certificate meaning that whoever uses your id is not only recognized by law as you but as your mothers child as well. Imagine not having id in your own country how will you be buried as well. If the person using your identity were to die before you you'd be registered as deceased what if they die somewhere out of SA and a next of kin is needed will your foreign family expect the victimized mother to assist. People think life is no joke.
Crying subjects of apartheid...you only saw that when she contested in the beauty pageant. You don't have shame.
@@africaourhome1
Proud product of shameless thieves she was unknown before the contest but however this matter at hand it's been a problem in S.A way before this incident but S.Ans weren't being heard and painted with the xenophobic brush when raising such issues to the world but now thanks to this situation at least now the world is starting to gain true insight of what S.Ans are going through because of such Acts. Though I don't expect your mind set to make sense of all this but those with mature minds are now making wise sounds even your fellow brothers.

The dishonesty of big news outlets is such a letdown. How is this lady's top 16 situation the same as Chidimma's? This is why all the big networks, including the American giants, have lost the people's trust. Patriotism does not equal xenophobia
Don't worry they not big anymore no body Care about what they think. Check their views and likes
Hi, xeno
Seems your patriotism comes alive when Africans are involved. Asians can do whatever they like, likewise Europeans but once Africans are involved, you see opportunities to show your true low life self.
This news network has a bad habit of lying and not having their facts straight.
What else can you expect from BBC, have you ever seen or heard BBC reporting anything good/positive about Africa and when it comes to South Africa they are worse, just go through the last 20 news report about SA and you will see it yourself.
Exactly, It's not Afro-phobia it's Identity Theft-phobia. A true Journalist would research how many South Africans are victims of this in the hands of our African siblings, not the other races.
Afrophobia is real.
The British even all hate BBC and no one pay their TV licences anymore.
100% agree
Who said she was miss South africa
And who said she is NOT, She is more south African that FAKE black men who claim to be COLOURED
She would've won the entire competition anyway. She was their strongest candidate this year.
@@Debanize mhh she could've not. Chidimma never won on any week of crown chasers ... Winning Miss SA is not based on just votes or beauty ...

@@Debanizeyou can tell the future wena prophetess 😅
The hate our African brothers and sisters have for South Africa is mind boggling! They want us to allow things they wouldn't allow in their countries. When we speak up, we are called xenophobic!
Why haven't you fought the Caucasians and Asians? That's the problem
@@k-dwanks2481why you telling us what to do in our country when we don't tell you what to do in yours? You have so much mess at home to a point were by your people flee their mess to our country yet you have the nerve to talk about whites people in SA. Leave black SA alone, leave white people in SA alone, they not your business and they in SA not your country. For most part leave our country alone, we don't bother you and your country why are you bothering us?
@@k-dwanks2481 Why fight Caucasians and Asians? They’re not the problem here. The problem is that our so called fellow African brothers and sisters do not respect the laws of South Africa. Chidimma and her mother’s fraudlent ID is a clear example but you would rather deflect by making this a race issue.
@@Noname_739 resolution made ok , don't people get citizenship through naturalization? In every part of the world?
Why hasn't the woman whose identity was stolen been brought to light?
Because all I get from this , are bullies creating a certain narrative
There's a Lebanon lady in that pageant , why wasn't she talked about?
My concern is , the hate south Africans trow towards their fellow Africans, that they can't do towards the Caucasians and Asians
It's mind bungling
Do you realize south African citizens are all over the world too , don't forget to be humane , the world is not as you see...

You just a xenophobe, own it
She suffered for 24 years with her children I can't imagine the damage.
Identity theft is a crime. Its that simple
Fotsek @@desba3846
That is a separate issue because the public were unaware of that when they started abusing the poor girl.
Trevor Noah’s mother comes from the Xhosa tribe. One of the oldest occupants of this land. He is definitely South Africa in culture & statute. There is no comparison there.
Another woman’s identity was stolen by Chidimma’s mother.
And that woman whose identity was stolen- struggled to register her own child- according to home affairs.
However I have nothing against Chichi, she is unfairly being used as a proxy for a concept we have not engaged with for too long.
She will get her issue sorted, and she can move on with her life. South Africa 🇿🇦 is her home if she chooses it. Also Sponsorships will come and she will succeed ❤
Her story exposed a great problem in our system. And hopefully a fix will be implemented.
#Chidimma #Adetshina
I applaud your critical and fair take on this issue, well done. That is very much true👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾💯💯💯.
Tell me which tribes most of those white people I'm South Africa come from .. asking for a friend ..or do these policies only apply to black foreigners
hope you don't mind me asking, but could you explain or direct me to some resources that discuss why there seems to be such strong negative sentiment towards Nigerians from South Africans? I'm trying to conduct my own research on this topic, but I thought I'd ask for some insights as well. Just to clarify, I'm genuinely curious and mean no harm. Love
@@DTechhreviewwatch SABC news, etv news on CZcams. See how many illegal foreigners get caught on a daily with drugs esp. Nigerians. We currently have Omotoso, a Nigerian pastor who raped young girls here. Also check how many Nigerians get convicted and are living nicely here in our prisons. They cause tax payers 400 a day. Most Nigerians in RSA don't have respect for the rule of law. OBEY or LEAVE.
For the most part it is based on encounters with Nigerians as South Africans. Nigerians will say its the media perpetuating this but will never own up to their reputation for drug trafficking, scamming people and the likes. And this reputation is not limited to South Africa.
I for one woke up one day at a complex in Springs i was living in, to a full on raid because one of the units was being used by Nigerians nationals to manufacture drugs.
If you travel anywhere from South Africa the issue of crime always comes up because that is what we are known for. Nigerians instead of always being ready to hurl insults must be honest and deal with why they are known for what they are known for.
She does not have dual-citizenship.
Her mother stole a South African woman's ID so that Chidimma will qualify to be South African.
To be a citizen of South Africa, there are two crucial requirements: you must be born in South Africa and at least one of your parents should be a citizen. Non of Chidimma's parents are South African citizens so her mother committed fraud by stealing an identity of someone else so that her daughter would be granted citizenship.
Chidimma should be stripped of her ID and her mother should be arrested together with the corrupt Home Affairs officials.
BBC is so disappointing, you guys are supporting a criminal syndicate and you don't care about the victim whose ID was stolen
I feel bothered when you are angry against other Africans. When Apartheid was ruling you, we were all furious and protesting, now you are so angry against other Africans why?, why do you prefer white to your fellow black people?
Thank you for clarifying...
For a crime commited by her mother why the child should punished?
Im so disappointed
@@penafrica4321What about the SAn who suffered all these years due to her stealing identity
That's the thing she's not South African at all. Her father is Nigerian her mom is NOT south african. She stole someone's identity. She's not even half south african or proud to represent this country!!!!

"Given up her crown"? She was not Miss SA, she was a finalist😳
Given up her crown means she stopped challenging for the crown hence losing the possibility of the crown being hers. It's just a figure of speech
She didn't give up her crown because she didnt have the crown yet rather say she gave up her top 10 finalist in miss SA because her mom fraud her identity 😢

Nigerians will not never supersede the nationality of SAn Indians and yes whites as well. Because our history as a rainbow nation supersedes any african affairs xenophobia is not more important than redressing apartheid. Why wasn’t there an influx of foreigners during the tumultuous times of apartheid. They only want to reap where they have not sown. All races in SA blacks Indians whites eventually reached consensus that lead to the SA we have today.
We are not going to be victimized in our own country....Fraud was committed nd thats it

Allegedly! If that makes you feel better for being xenophobic, then, that's on you.
@@jameskillu9171 No South African is smuggling their selves into Nigeria, wanting a Nigerian identity babe. But there are many Nigerians doing that in South Africa. If Nigerians were law abiding people, so many countries wouldn't have a problem with them.
@@KatRSA For me it's having the audacity to go to a country that isn't yours to commit that fraud.

Not, allegation, Minister of Home Office ( Home Affairs) said her ID was acquired Fraudulently. Please interview South Africans who don't have IDs and can not get housing or other benefits, even getting a house school Diploma because someone stole their ID. There are thousands of those in South Africa. Please do that research. The majority of the ID thieves are Nigerians.
Very hypocritical. They should cover those protests in the UK as well
Seem like it's a nigerian telling the story, so we didn't expect any better

3:40 To be a South African, one of your parents must be a citizen, Chidimmas parents were not citizens that's why her mother stole an identity of a South African women. So for 23 years there's a South African women who is living without an ID, she cannot open a bank account, she cannot register her cellphone, she cannot get employed, she cannot get IDs for her kids, her kids cannot access free social services like children grants etc, instead all these things are being enjoyed by Chidimma. Trevor's case is irrelevant because one of her parents is South African.
SHE BLACK ENOUGH TO BE CALLED A TRUE African BUT WASNT SHE BORN A MAN IS WHAT WE REALLY NEEDS TO KNOW
why hasnt she been presented or present herself from wherever she is hiding?, but then again we forgot it remains an allegation
You clearly don't understand there is no 23 year old whose id was stolen.
Whose identity was stolen??? Name that person...where is she?? Has she opened a case?
That is not true, A you a lawyer? What you mentioned is just one of the requirements, that is citizenship by parentage. Another is citizenship by birth, for the fact that Chidima was born in SA automatically makes her a citizen of SA according to SA constitutions, I am a Nigerian but I have done my research on Citizenship by birth in SA constitutions.
What about the SA lady and her kids who are suffering evening today due to identity theft?
You can ask that again
Your hypocrisy locked your conscience about a similar thing u did to the girl who had one parent from Uganda. You deserved the apartheid.
Where is she? Let her come forth.
So much misinformation in this video.
and no mention of identity fraud .I guess the agenda of South Africa being Xenaphobic buys likes and views

They just rushed to put it out there without proper research. Remember it's trending so they are also making money from me and you engaging them on this platform. Every response translates into dollars for them and that's what they care about
So accurate, all xenophobes are now awake. Black men should stop saying they are coloured to become ministers
What about the stolen identity of the young South Africa girl?
No one cares about that woman bruh ... just trying to force a khumbaya on us.
We , the real Black South Africans should somehow follow closely and advocate for her to get justice...
I can't get over the fact her mom was a mule. For presumably her Nigerian husband. Now who tr*fficked her into South Africa? Her husband? Guess we'll never know
Who is this South African girl who lost her identity???👀 it’s giving 🧢

Had social media not made that noise, Chidimma's fraudulent mother would not have been caught, they should investigate her father and husband too. And since she got her SA ID thought illegal route, they should revoke it and deport her family to Mozambique or Nigeria. I feel sorry of the girl with Ugandan father, as a daughter of a South African she didn not deserve all the hate she faced.
South Africa only recognise Botswana, Namibia, Eswatini and Lesotho, the rest its a Big No. You can have a child with one of the four and you wont have a problem, should have Chidima's mother or parents from this four people wouldn't have any single problem.

Ofcourse, it was totally conjured by the authorities ....and it is only an allegation.

I am South African and the public were on point on questioning her identity with regards to participating in a pergeant in this instance that is named after our country.
Had she continued to participate and win the Miss South Africa pergeant (an event named after our country), how would you have Miss South Africa whose identity is questionable.
It cannot be I would not even want someone whose identity is questionable being our President or even serving in the military.
I don't mind them being normal citizens and even naturalized South Africans doing any other professions but not the ones that bares our country's name including President or Minister for that matter, no ways.
Even the American public were well within their right question Barack Obama's eligibility to be the US President.
Let me even put a twist to this, do you think the American public would be okay electing a President whose mother or father is Russian? Not even Ukraine would be happy with that. Even the Russian public would not want someone whose father or mother is American being elected President.
Such positions that bares the country's name must be left to those who are 100% citizens of those countries, period.
Look , if you said she has a questioned nationality and she can't served the country as a president or military, are you forgetting that we have people in south Africa military born by Namibian and Angolan parents but their South African citizens, now is these people not being recognized in south Africa?
However, you should remember that Home affairs had a law when you born before 2001 in south Africa you can get a citizenship. Now when did this younger lady born?
You people don't even know what is the law of your country but being just bad manners.
This young lady she is a south African prior.
As an American, only ignorant people questioned Barack Obama's eligibility for President.
End of.
That's is exactly my point. That is why I mentioned 100% in my description, that is why I made an example of naturalized South African. That is why I mentioned that such citizens can go for any other profession but not something like the military.
If it is happening in the military like you say it is happening, then it must be stopped period.
It does not mean simply because it is legally permissible we must agree with it. We do not agree with it and such must stop period.
@vikkienaluwe9061 there's no such law. State all the conditions for this law to apply
Your reasoning baffles me! Please pay a visit to your nearest library.
Trevor Noah went there legally
BBC You apologize to south Africa , because criminality by her mother was committed she will be arrested.
Allegedly!
@@Debanize The is evidence even from Lesotho she ran away as a drug mule hence the Identity theft in SA still she continued pushing drugs in SA in Cape town was arrested because of corruption the docket disappeared , more rot will be availed about her criminal parents watch my words
apologise to who, to OLD bullies who are convicted criminals,
@@jameskillu9171 Sometimes there is no need to comment and look foolish you won't die .
How are the xenophobic "riots" going over there in the uk? 😊
Trevor was born here and grew up here.
Same with Chidinma Adetshina. What's your point?
@@Debanize her mother stole someones id and used it as her own . Trevor mother is a Xhosa woman from the Cape.Tshidimas mom from Mozambique . She have ruined her daughters life .
@@jennifertshifura3691 Don't be an idiot! She was born in Soweto and has not lived in any other country but South Africa. South African citizenship is also granted by birth. Her alleged mother's actions are NOT her own....and we all know that the story is fabricated anyway.
@@Debanize She was born here but they did not follow the procedure to get the correct documents. They opted to steal someone's id wich is a crime. Tshidima knows nothing as she was a baby when the fraud was commited. It might cause her to be deported to either her fathers country or her mothers country. This is a serious crime we are talking about. If it is true thst the fraud was commited she will.loose her citizenship , her matric certificate and her degree . It is always good to do things the right way bcoz if it doesn't affect you it will affect the kids.it is not about calling people idiot . It is about the truth
@@Debanize and chidimma look like the majority
Three year ago there was a Miss South African contestant "Melissa Nayimuli " she had a South African mother and Ugandan father . There was never an issue because her mother makes her a south african. We have nothing against Chidinma . We just wanted to be represented by a South African in a world stage . Miss South Africa becomes the face of the whole country. So its only fair to be represented by a South African. Trevor Noah's mother is South African making him South African. Chidinma both her oarents are not South African . How is she gonna represent us in the miss South Africa? She given up her crown ? How ? When she did not win . She was not even disqualified she stepped down because her mother committed prima facie
Chidimma is either Mozambican or Nigerian but she’s not South African. Her mother committed crime towards a South African she stole identity from , how do you ignore that information. This contest is not Miss Africa, but South Africa, we can appreciate her better as Miss Mozambique/ Nigeria when we contest Miss world/ universe. We prefer being represented by South Africans black, white, coloured and Indians. Being a black woman doesn’t make you a South African
Stop apartheid mentality
@@cefasfah85Not until you stop the tribalism mentality in your countries 👍🏾
@@cefasfah85 So we should let people live here illegally so that they can commit their crimes in peace?
Gather here if you come after her victory in Miss universe Nigeria
Report this video for misinformation. Top 13, She wasn’t even crowned 😂
She is crowned in our hearts and minds, She is miss SA, the rest are loosers, only relying on xenophobia to be on race
In SA we have whites who are Greeks , Portuguese , Dutch , to be a SA citizen, Trevor Noah was born and bred in SA to a SA Xhosa mother , this Chidima cant she speaks one of the native languages, what is her Clan Name cause all of us we have Clan Name is our pride of who we are and who is she?
Do white people speak native languages?
@@cefasfah85mind your own business, do the Yorubas and Igbos speak each other's languages there in naija???😂😂😂
This time South Africa fails. What happen to mercy and goodwill. South Africa has sown a bad seed.
Channels want to act better than the reality that is happening in South Africa. When we lose a child, whom we lose due to human trafficking and the criminals that do that walk with different identities in our communities while we cry. Do you know the pain of walking up and the streets looking for your daughter that you will never see again, while she is being updacted. Think about us first coz the pain is real when u as a parent look like an idoit and die from depression
Damn.. & I thought south african journalists were bad. Only to find out BBC Africa are worse such poor journalism in Africa.
Please do proper due diligence next time.
when Chidimma was doing nothing, she was South African and every south african was at peace.
No divisions, she is not South African... She identified with Nigerians. Have respect for SAns please.
Apartheid mentality
Black South african grown men say they are coloured, that does not make them Japanese,
Mxm whatever Lies
If Trevor Noah can contest for Mr America you'll see
Why would Trevor contest for Mr America knowing very well he is not an American unless the competition allows for such
America doesn't descriminate
@@luckym5198America doesn't descriminate
@@cefasfah85then what was the black lives matter movement for? You just gonna lie to push your own agenda
The comments alone say a lot about whether or not there is Afrophobia in South Africa.
none of what you saying is true. why did you not do some journalism to hear what the people are saying instead of assuming what they are thinking. we have a lot of people from African countries living and working in south Africa, why are those people not treated like Chidimma? you did lazy work, no journalism at all. we see this BBC disinformation in Europe and we don want it in our country. do journalism and represent all parties fairly and in a balanced way, as our constitution demands.
THIS IS A MISINFORMATION, SHAME TO CURRENT STATE OF JOURNALISM
The child and mother who lost their identity doesn't matter. Just the beneficiaries right??
If she had won a global award she would be a south African since she's competing against her fellow SA she's a Nigeria pls chidinma come to Nigeria we need you jare
We wouldn't expect anything tangible from a journalist who's not a South African herself 🚮
So you need to be "South African" in order to be a journalist? You're lacking in wisdom!
@@Debanize .....and You're lacking understanding. Who said anything about journalism requirements❓️🚮
Eish, you want apartheid in journalosm. Can you define who is South African journalist,
Definitely not Chidimma’s fault, but jumping straight to Afrophobia is just crazy.. And this 5 mins clip doesn’t exactly explain a lot.
What crown did she give up?
My brother was a victim of identity theft, everything thing was on hold for 3 years. It was so sad.
Stop lying before you come to the audience try to do research pls
Next episode talk about how same Nigerians have ruined their relationship with South Africans. Am disgusted by how misinformation can just fly over...
Why
The hate is not only towards other African countries, even within south Africa all the miss South Africa from the Limpopo province were bullied and not fully excepted in South Africa. this year we have a contestant called Onalemang her identity was also questioned its just that Chidimma discrimination took centre stage.
Onalenna*.. I think she's married to some weirdo.

Don't speak lies here😮
@@MIA-fq1di dear its the truth that poor girl Shudu was bullied to this day even the Tsonga lady who won miss sa in 2022 was bullied.
But Trevor didn’t enter MR South Africa 😂😂😂
Exactly 😂😂
@@proudlysa774and identify fraud is the issue here, they will make noise without checking facts😂
Even if he did, he is a Sans
They know the facts but choose to ignore them@@mabulepuru5318
What a weak reasoning. Did Chidemma steal someone's identity?
Are you willing suffer your parents' sins?
Stop making your self stupid
Which crown did she give up?
Why did the home affairs official, who is a South African, give Chidimma mother a South African Identity document? ,if the Identity document has been received illegally then that person who issued it should be arrested
My sister plz do proper research before going live with the video this kind of information might cause division and hate to the society
Fire this journo.
The subtext here is that everything Nigerian, in South Africa, is suspect. Unfortunately for those like myself (who supported Chidimma), they were proven 100% right, and we are left with egg on our faces.
I, too, am a victim of identity theft, and it has caused me significant hardship as a South African. My identity was stolen, impacting not only my future but also the future of my children and the legacy I hope to build. As South Africans, we need justice. This situation has gone on for too long. @newzroomafrica @bbcnewsafrica
Hands off Trevor 😮
Wait which hospital was she born in soweto and if her mother was Mozambican and her father was Nigerian how is she south African by the way Trevor his mother is south African Xhosa!
These people think we have short memories
None of the girl's parents is South African come on it has nothing to do with xenophobia
South Africans who are racist toward fellow Africans is very disheartening we helped them in their struggle against apartheid 😢😢
