Immigration Lawyer weighs in on Adetshina's immigration court battle

The legal battle over the immigration status of former Miss South Africa finalist and Miss Universe Nigeria Chidimma Adetshina is set to return to the Cape Town Regional Court on Wednesday 19 August, where the court is expected to hand down judgment on her bid to halt her deportation.

The state argues that Adetshina does not have the necessary documentation to remain in South Africa and that detention and deportation are justified, while her defence has proposed alternatives, including regular reporting to an immigration officer.

So, what are the key legal issues the court will have to consider, and what could the judgment mean for Adetshina's future in South Africa? We're joined by Craig Smith, Immigration Lawyer, to unpack this.
