But according to the organisers, the 23-year-old was born and bred in Johannesburg and insisted that her South African citizenship is legal, therefore, she is allowed to compete.
"All documentation provided by the entrants is screened and vetted. Chidimma is a South African citizen. Her mother is South African (Zulu), and her father is Nigerian,” said Miss South Africa.
