The Home Affairs Department says it will cancel the identity and travel documents of former Miss South Africa contestant, Chidimma Adetshina, and her Mozambican-born mother.
They are also facing probable fraud charges.
On Tuesday, the department informed Parliament’s portfolio committee that its completed investigation was handed to the Hawks.
Adetshina’s case reached Parliament in August when the public questioned her heritage and nationality after she became a finalist in the Miss SA pageant.
Home Affairs Director General Tommy Makhode said the Adetshinas did not respond to Monday’s deadline to make representations as to why they should keep their South African national documents.
The department says photographs taken at the event and posted on social media appear to confirm Adetshina’s mother left South Africa during the investigation. Nothing has been said of her Nigerian-born father.
