Chidimma Adetshina, a 23-year-old, recently withdrew from the Miss South Africa 2024 pageant following intense xenophobic attacks and backlash on social media, IOL reports. After being rejected by South Africans who argued that she did not represent the country due to her Mozambican and Nigerian heritage, Adetshina received an invitation to participate in Miss Universe Nigeria.
