Anabela Rungo, the mother of controversial model Chidimma Adetshina, is facing potential deportation after being arrested in Cape Town for illegally reentering South Africa. The arrest has drawn significant attention, as reports indicate that Rungo could soon be sent back to her home country of Mozambique. The incident is just the latest chapter in a string of legal troubles surrounding the Adetshina family, with Chidimma previously making headlines after her South African citizenship was revoked by the Department of Home Affairs.
The news of Rungo’s possible deportation has sparked mixed reactions from South Africans, many of whom feel that merely deporting her is insufficient. Critics argue that she should face criminal charges for breaking the country’s immigration laws, especially after allegedly obtaining documents fraudulently. This sentiment has been widely shared on social media, with users expressing frustration over what they perceive as lenient consequences for serious offenses.
Concerns about weak border control have also been raised, with some warning that deporting Rungo without further legal action may encourage her or others to attempt reentering South Africa illegally in the future. One social media user, @tndaba, stated, “She can’t be deported, she committed a crime and obtained her documents fraudulently. For that, she must be charged.”
As the situation unfolds, the public’s divided stance highlights broader concerns about South Africa’s immigration policies and the enforcement of border security. While some feel the punishment should be more severe, others await to see what steps the government will take to address this matter more decisively.
