The UK government has denied Mandla Mandela, the grandson of Nelson Mandela, an entry visa due to his support for Hamas and his stance on the Israel-Hamas war. Mandela was planning to address pro-Palestinian gatherings in the UK but was informed that he would need a visa, despite holding a South African government passport. The UK Home Office sent Mandela a letter stating that his visa application had been denied because of his 'support for Hamas' and because his presence in the UK was 'not conducive to the public good.' Mandela expressed that the visa refusal would not stop him from continuing to support the Palestinians.
