Former Miss SA Contestant Chidimma’s Mother in Custody!
HOME Affairs Department detains Chidimma Adetshina’s mum Anabela Rungo in Cape Town.
She was detained by Cape Town Investigators from Home Affairs, assisted by the SAPS, on Saturday morning, February 15.
A few days ago, some Mzansi residents claimed that Chidimma was spotted in Cape Town, and the question was how she gained entry to South Africa because her Mzansi documentation was withdrawn in 2024 after the Miss South Africa controversy.
The department also withdrew Anabela’s South African documentation in September 2024 after finding that it had been fraudulently obtained, rendering her ineligible to continue residing in Mzansi.

On Saturday, 15 February, Home Affairs confirmed in a statement that they detained Chidimma’s mum. “In an apparent act of brazen disregard for the legal consequences of her conduct, it appears that Ms Rungo has defined her ‘undesirable’ status through her Mozambican passport.
“Investigations are ongoing into further potential misrepresentation and fraudulent conduct. During the operation this morning, investigators from the Counter Corruption and Immigration Services branches of the department also found Adetshina’s under-aged child residing with Rungo,” said the statement.
The statement further said after being processed by Home Affairs over her apparent illegal continued residence in Mzansi, Ms Rungo will be handed over to the SAPS as she is also the subject of an ongoing investigation by the Directorate for Priority Crime and SAPS Child Protection Unit as it relates to protecting the interests of the under-age child.
