Zwelivelile Mandla Mandela was scheduled to speak at pro-Palestinian events in the UK during Black History Month but was denied entry by British authorities.
The Sheffield Palestine Coalition against Israeli Apartheid stated that British officials initially told Mandela he did not need a visa, only to later inform him that he did.
Mandla Mandela expressed his support for the recent attacks on Israel, which may have contributed to the decision against his entry into the UK.
His planned speaking tour in eight cities was thwarted, forcing him to join the Sheffield event remotely instead of in person.
