Well chidima won and all other African countries are fully happy she won congratulations nigeria

[lawma]

She just couldn't handle the pressure. I am sure her sickness is more psychological than physical

[shereem]

Don't understand at all, she was so positive ! 😢

[dicurzio]

Why did not send to the Miss Universe the runner up!

[nompumelelonxumalo]

Mia was just living in Chichis shadow to be honest. Clearly the crown was Chichis from the very start. It's actually a disgrace she did not atleast complete the competition there was no health issues there, just insecurity and pressure. Very annoying, I don't feel sorry for Mai

le rata drama. Chidimma was not even mentioned in this report. She won miss universe Africa/oceania and we congratulate her wholeheartedly and we congratulate Nigeria for their win and rightfully accepting her as their representative.🙏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Get well soon Mia you've got a lot coming your way, rest up Miss SA🤍🩷

[braggito]

She was a wrong choice as Miss SA to begin with.

[ukokensington]

Ran way because she knew she wouldnt beat Miss Nigeria. Timid Miss South African representing timidity in the world stage.

Mia got SANs to pay to vote for her, set their alarms to 4am to watch the competition, and served them hot karma on a platter of gold. This is what SANs get. We told SANs they would wail for what they did to Chichi. They were shooting bullets at chichi, missed their target, and it accidentally landed on Mia. Anyways, I loved Mia’s advocacy and I wish her speedy recovery.

[Mapswife]

Wishing her speedy recovery I had so much hope in her 😢

[juandelacruz]

MU SA knew they Won't win against NIGERIA plus the embarrassment they received after their formal request to disqualify MISS NIGERIA was ignored... Wahaha.. full of EGO...

[beulahliebenberg]

Bad journalism for not saying what she has to recover from! Come on. - this should be so basic!

[jameskillu]

Our Queen Chidimma is there to represent South Africa. Nigeria and Africa.
