It was stated that an activist, Kwena Molekwa, risked her life to uncover some of the alleged crimes linked to Chidimma and her family, including identity theft, dealing with illegal substances and more.
The letter also explained that proof of the allegations that Chidimma’s mum stole the identity of a South African child was shared on X and that the Nigerian embassy granted the 22-year-old model a diplomatic passport for her to be able to participate in the Miss Universe Nigeria pageant.
The Progressive Forces of South Africa pleaded with the Miss Universe organisers to cancel Chidimma’s entry so that they would not lose their good image.

No one is targeting Chidimma - SA activist Kwena Molekwa
In an exclusive chat with Legit.ng, South African activist and one of those pushing for legal action against Chidimma and her mother, reacted to claims that the young beauty queen was being targetted because of her Nigerian roots.
According to Molekwa, that is not the case. She stated that identity fraud is a serious crime which she claimed Chidimma is guilty of. In her word:
"No is targeting Chidimma Adetshina for roots, it's undermining that people and mainstream media have made the whole Chidimma Adetshina saga about "xenophobia" instead of treating it as a criminal investigation.... questioning how she obtained her identity."
"Identity fraud is a serious crime. Chidimma Adetshina broke South African immigration act of 2002 (No13)- Section 49 prohibits unauthorized travel with falsified identification.( ii) South African Identification act 1997 ( No 68) section 17 and 18 criminalize unlawful acquisition and use of identity documentation. Chidimma Adetshina is no different from any law breaker in South Africa and her crime affected the life of young innocent black South African for 22 years. She couldn't enjoy her birthright that's why important that Chidimma Adetshina is held accountable and removed from such prestigious competition like Miss Universe."
