The South African government has arrested Anabela Rungo, the mother of former Miss Universe Nigeria, Chidinma Adetshina, on charges of fraudulently obtaining South African identity documents.

The Department of Home Affairs confirmed the arrest, stating that Rungo, a Mozambican national, was detained in Cape Town after her residency status was revoked in September 2024 due to irregularities.

“Investigators from the department, assisted by SAPS, detained Anabela Rungo at a property in Cape Town. The Department withdrew Rungo’s South African documentation in September 2024 after finding that it had been fraudulently obtained, rendering her ineligible to continue residing in South Africa,” said Siya Qoza, a spokesperson for the department.

This arrest comes after Chidinma Adetshina withdrew from the Miss South Africa pageant amid controversy surrounding her nationality and allegations of identity theft against her mother.
