Somizi Ignites Storm with Scathing Truth Bomb
The drama surrounding Miss SA finalist Chidinma Adetshina refuses to die down, and now popular media personality Somizi Mhlongo has weighed in with a pointed commentary that’s got the nation talking.
In a scathing social media post, Somizi drew parallels between Chidinma’s case and that of Natasha Mazzone, a Member of Parliament born in South Africa to English-Italian parents. While Chidinma’s Nigerian heritage has been called into question, Natasha has been recognized by the Italian government and has carved out a successful political career in South Africa. So, what’s the difference?
"This is not about race, folks," Somizi captioned the post. "It’s about why the energy is different. Just asking."
The response has been intense, with some commenters arguing that Miss SA is about representation of heritage, culture, and tradition, while others are simply asking what happens when Chidinma wins – will she celebrate in Nigeria or in South Africa?

The debate is raging, and one thing is clear: Somizi’s tweet has sparked a necessary conversation about representation, identity, and what it means to be South African.
