With
the 2013 Africa Nations Cup staring today in South Africa, the hosts’
high commission in Nigeria is yet to issue entry visa to Punch
correspondent assigned to cover the competition.
After the required documents were
submitted and payment made at the office of the agency that receives
South African visa application, a short electronic message was received
by our correspondent on his mobile phone on January 8, informing him
that his application has been “dispatched to The South African High
Commission, Lagos” for processing.
As at Friday, our correspondent was
still awaiting his entry visa to cover the competition. When he visited
the South African Deputy High Commission office at 24, Molade Okoya
Thomas Street Victoria Island, Lagos, on Friday, an official told him
that he would receive “a report on the visa application” on Tuesday, a
day after the Super Eagles of Nigeria would have played their first
match against Burkina Faso.
