It is a moment of disappointment for South African fans of the Nigerian singer Ayra Starr, as her show in the Rainbow Nation has just been cancelled.
The tour would have seen Ayra Starr and for friends perform in Johannesburg and Cape Town this weekend. But because of visa denials, the show was cancelled.
The cancellation of the show, which hinges on visa denial, illuminates the issue Nigerians contend when trying to travel to South Africa. Most are denied visas outright, even when they fulfil the supposed requirements.
In the case of Ayra Starr, many are still confounded because she’s a famous figure and she and her team shouldn’t have had any struggles processing visas to South Africa. But that’s by the way.
In a post on its official Instagram page, the promoter of the cancelled show released an official statement about the cancellation, letting fans know how and why things went south. You can check out the post below.
