Dalai Lama denied South Africa visa for Nobel summit

Associated Press in Johannesburg

The Dalai Lama has again been refused entry to South Africa, where he was scheduled to attend the 14th world summit of Nobel peace laureates, his representative has said.

Nangsa Choedon said officials from the department of international relations called her to say the Tibetan spiritual leader's visa had been denied, the Cape Times newspaper reported on Thursday.

I remember the Anglican bishops of SA coming to NY and they told a forum how bad the corruption was.
