Parents of young artists appeal to government for assistance after being denied VISA’s to enter the United States
Go! Durban Musical Theatre Academy artists
This happens after the ten members of the Go! Durban Musical Theatre Academy qualified to take part in the world championships but was denied VISA’s to enter the United States. Altogether seventeen members of the South African team of fifty six were denied VISAs. The academy’s project manager Des Govender says, “We are devastated. These children hold the hopes not only of their own dreams, but their families, their community where they come from, the whole city of Durban. So it’s incredibly devastating to have such a hope and a dream and to be told unfortunately you cannot even leave your own country to represent and fly the flag.”
