Media figure Daniel Regha has expressed his disapproval of singer Burna Boy and others for ridiculing the recently crowned Miss South Africa 2024.
This criticism follows Burna Boy’s response to the announcement of the new titleholder, which came after Chidimma Vanessa Onwe Adetshina withdrew from the Miss South Africa 2024 competition.
On the X platform, Daniel Regha emphasized that the victory of a deaf woman as Miss South Africa 2024 exemplifies the importance of inclusivity.
While the situation regarding Chidinma is indeed regrettable, it is both hypocritical and racially biased to evaluate Mia, the winner, solely on the basis of her skin color.
His words: “A deaf woman just won Miss South Africa for the first time, that’s a show of representation & inclusivity; What happened to Chidimma is unfortunate, but it’s also hypocrisy to mock the winner (Mia) based on her skin colour. That’s subtle racism, & the very same thing we are trying so hard to end.
“I am tired of Africans hating on fellow Africans; We are despised by many foreigners (racists), & also disunited amongst ourselves. Africa is the one place very African should be able to call home, but we continue fighting a never-ending war. The xenophobia, the tribalism, & ethinic bigotory is truly disappointing.”
