The newly crowned Miss Universe Nigeria, Chidimma Adetshina, has given reasons why South Africans opposed her becoming Miss South Africa.
“It all started because of my name. People were not happy that my name is Chidimma and I am representing South Africa.
“South Africans felt like I wasn’t South African enough because of my name. It was really sad to see and it was a very horrible experience that I wouldn’t wish on anybody.
“I have lived there for 23 years and it’s heartbreaking to see that I wasn’t welcomed and accepted. There were certain things that happened behind the scenes that made me withdraw.

It was heartbreaking that I had to withdraw close to the finale but a decision had to be made and it hit social media as well.
“But what I know is that I was born in South Africa and I am a South African. I am still proudly Nigerian as well,” she said.
