South Africa rejects reports that Nigerian singer Ayra Starr and members of her team were denied visas to enter the country. In statements relayed by Nigerian outlets, South Africa’s Consul-General to Nigeria, Prof. Bobby Moroe, says South African immigration authorities have no record of any visa application or rejection involving the singer or her entourage. Moroe also calls for evidence to support the claims, urging that any allegations be substantiated with documentation or other verifiable details. The government position is presented as a response to public assertions that Ayra Starr was barred from performing due to visa issues. Multiple reports cite the consul-general’s comments and emphasize that the absence of records on the immigration side contradicts the denial narrative. The claims are not independently confirmed in the articles; instead, the focus is on South Africa’s request for proof and its statement that it has no official trace of the alleged visa process or refusal. The matter remains framed as a dispute over whether a visa application was made and what decision immigration authorities reached.
