Julius Malema Sparks Fury with Pro-Chidinma Stance: “You Can’t Punish Someone for Their Parents’ Nationality!”
The fiery EFF leader, Julius Malema, has ignited a firestorm by defending Miss South Africa contestant, Chidinma Vanessa Adetshina, against cyberbullies and racists who are demanding her disqualification due to her Nigerian and Mozambican roots.
“Your Citizenship is Determined by Where You Were Born, Not Your Parents’!”
In a scathing rebuke to those seeking to oust Chidinma from the pageant, Malema declared, “If she was born here, she’s South African, it doesn’t matter. Chidima Vanessa Onwe is not her parents; she’s herself, so why do you want to say she’s from Nigeria or Mozambique? She was born here!”
“We Can’t Punish People Based on Where Their Parents Come From!”
The EFF leader’s comments have sparked a heated debate, with many South Africans taking to social media to express their outrage and disgust at Malema’s stance. However, Malema remains unwavering in his support for Chidinma, stating that it’s up to the pageant organizers to verify her citizenship, not the public.
“We Can’t Let Bigots and Racists Dictate Who Can and Can’t Compete in This Pageant!”
As the debate rages on, one thing is clear: Julius Malema is not backing down from his pro-Chidinma stance. Will his comments spark a revolution in South Africa’s pageant scene, or will they be met with resistance from those who seek to uphold a narrow definition of “South African-ness”? Only time will tell.
