South Africans Demand Citizenship Probe Into Miss World South Africa Romanda Hombir

Some South Africans are calling for an investigation into Miss World South Africa Romanda Hombir’s citizenship after social-media claims that she was born in Eswatini and spent part of her childhood and schooling there. Critics have also challenged claims that she grew up in Mpumalanga, alleging that local residents do not know her. Others have defended Hombir, arguing that her surname and background should not be treated as proof that she is not South African. The dispute has revived comparisons with the 2024 Miss South Africa controversy involving Chidimma Adetshina, whose citizenship was questioned before she withdrew from the competition. The allegations remain unverified.
