Gamu Nhengu facing deportation

Gamu Nhengu facing deportation after X-factor rejection

Gamu Nhengu was last week famously rejected by everyone’s favourite Newcastle charm, Cheryl Cole. It came as a big surprise for those with a secret guilty love for the reality show, because she was such an excellent singer. Cheryl’s since faced accusations of racism (not sure I’d agree), but now Gamu’s facing a bigger heartache than Cheryl’s bad judgement: deportation.

The UKBO has refused Gamu’s mother permission to remain in the UK and it looks like Gamu and her mother will soon be forced out of the UK. It’s a sad situation but the problem isn’t necessarily with the immigration officials - they’re merely enforcing the law - the problem is with the law itself.

I doubt Gamu will be seeing a reprieve unless the X-factor judges renege on their decision and invite her back, presumably with accompanying visa benefits.
