Passport woes see Brand cancel SA tour
Print Edition
British comic Russell Brand canceled his sell-out six-date South African tour yesterday, after he was blocked from flying to the country because his passport did not have enough blank pages.
Brand’s publicist said he was “refused permission to fly to South Africa because his passport didn’t have the mandatory number of empty pages.
“Consequently he has now been forced to cancel his tour,” Debra de Souza said.
Brand posted a picture of himself on Twitter waving at the airport with an information board in the background indicating the Johannesburg-bound flight.
“Banned from South Africa. Here ready to go. Refused entry. Hope I can come soon,” he told his 7 million followers on the microblogging site.
South Africa requires visitors to have at least two blank pages in their passport in order to enter the country.
Local promoter Tony Feldman said tickets would be refunded and that organizers are hoping to reschedule dates for sometime in mid-2014.
