Hello my family in Tanzania. I’m here in Tanzania right now, I’m not just allowed to come. It’s very unfortunate that I couldn’t make it to worship with us today. I heard there were about 60,000 of you who came out. I’m sorry, I did my best,” Bliss said in a video posted on Instagram.

Entry denied despite assurances

According to the gospel minister, the organising team had initially assured them that visas would be provided, and later advised his group to obtain them on arrival. But immigration officials at Dar es Salaam airport denied them entry after they landed at midnight.

They told us we would get a visa on arrival, and we landed. We’ve been here now for about six hours. No way to go in, the immigration won’t let us in. Apparently, no visa on arrival again for us,” he recounted.
