Would it not be apt, and in true Cowell style, for him to step in now, pulls some strings, and get Gamu re-instated? What with all his philanthropic endeavours, like his song for the troops, this is the perfect window for him to don his cape once more. He usually does not miss any positive PR opportunity.

Gamu will be back. Cowell's company can get her a visa if they sponsor her. Then she can compete in the show and win the contest and it will end happily ever after for everyone. Ahhhhhh!

Well done cheps I think it was the right decision to take her out of the betting given the events of today. Theres only 1 book still quoting her blew sq which is poor form on their part paddies are forgiven as they are with a run. Was hoping that laddies got massive negative publicity on it and decided to refund stakes so I could get my £50 stake backCry

In Saturday's show Cowell will stand up to make a special anouncement. He will declare that he has managed to rescue Gamu from the Zimbabwe warlords and will be in the contest from next week. Gamu suddenly appears and runs to daddy Cowell. She cries, he cries, and the whole audience cries with happiness. Cowell is declared a hero and is made a saint.

I think I would be violently sick if that happened, and I've just bought a new carpet. He'd have to offer her a job, he couldn't just tell immigration she's in a competition. Can't see it happening but I'll carry a sick bag just in case.

This statement was in the sun today.

The hate-filled tirade - circulated to phones around the country via BlackBerry Messenger amid outrage over Gamu's exit - slurs Cheryl by accusing her of racism.

Why this fuss over her? She'd have no chance if she got through anyway. Far too much exposure and deep down we all hate benefit cheats, and her family appear to be just that. She's no chance. Paije Richardson at 100s might be a good little ticket though.

Not sure of all the facts but the shots of her flat on the Scottish news
would end any argument that she has had an easy life.

The press are right behind her up here...front pages everywhere.


We need a shot in the finals and MacGamu  now carries the last hopes of a nation

desparate to avoid being seen as the Liverpool FC of reality tv [:p][:D][:(]

Yeah, saw the flats on the news earlier. Can't really comment as don't know the full details.

Shame that a trainee nurse is chucked out for claiming benefits to provide for her kids whilst she makes a valuable input into the countrys health system whilst most claimants, those that I know, are spending it down the pub and not looking for any work.

Alex Magaisa  a senior lecturer at the Kent Law School writes.


Gamu did not threaten anyone’s security. No, she doesn’t pose a threat to any person in this country. She only sought to bring happiness to people; to sing for them and make they feel good if only for a few moments. And for a while she did. She touched the hearts of many people with her soulful, most beautiful voice.

I recommend anyone interested in this affair to read the full article.

I think it would be a positive benefit to this country for Gamu to stay here.

Whatever. You to not need to live in the UK to start a music career I actually believe Gamu is on her way to major international success.

She may in the end be better off for being away from the Cowell pantomime.

All this hoo haa is prefectly timed to coincide with the shock surprise twist weekend. I will not rule out the above Happening. Its maximum publicity for Syco and everyones a winner. Simon, Gamu, the Press, the chatering classes and me of course.

What I really think is that Gamu and xfactor is finish. I'd just like Gamu to now get a decent manager and backer. Not Machachevelli Cowell, not Mugabe, not warlord, not a corrupt politician, not some show biz  shark not the Jacksons. But does this exist in show biz.

Immigration appeal over X-factor Gamu's visa

The lawyer for the family of X Factor entrant Gamu Nhengu has confirmed she will appeal against a Home Office decision to send them back to Zimbabwe.

Frances Farrell said she had intended to seek a judicial review, but now believes there are grounds to appeal directly to the immigration tribunal.

Gamu's mother, Nokuthula Ngazana, was refused permission to stay in the UK after her visa expired in August.

Mrs Ngazana has been living in Clackmannanshire for eight years.

Her daughter was controversially eliminated from ITV's X Factor on Sunday. The show's bossed have denied reports that the decision was influenced by fears that Gamu's visa was about to run out.

Almost 250,000 people have joined a Facebook campaign calling for Gamu's return to the show.

Family lawyer Mrs Farrell said the situation had been "very upsetting for all the family" and deplored the leaking of confidential details of the case to some newspapers.

"We believe there is a right of appeal against the decision and we're going to be lodging an appeal with the immigration tribunal as soon as possible," she said.

"My client has been in this country for about eight years now, absolutely legally all the time."

She also said she would refute claims that the family had claimed benefits illegally, contending that Gamu's mother Nokutula Ngazana had been advised by the Inland Revenue that she could claim Working Tax Credit and Child Tax Credit.


About 150 people gathered outside Gamu's house to show their support
The visa extension was turned down on the grounds there was an administrative error in the application.

The family's solicitors said the error was due to Mrs Ngazana giving the wrong bank details, so the fee for the application could not be taken.

The application was judged "out of time" as a result, but the lawyers said it was lodged in time.

A crowd of about 150 people gathered outside the family's home in Tillicoultry to show their support after news of the visa refusal was made public.

Many of them where pupils at Alva Academy, where Gamu used to be a pupil.

And locals have now started an online petition against the decision by the UK Border Agency.

More than 1,100 people have signed the appeal started by John Locke, the pastor of the evangelical church that Gamu and her family attend.

These people know the rules when they apply for the visa (terms of her stay clearly spelt out to her). She ignored those rules and therefore should be treated as a benefits cheat. Just because her daughter appeared on X Factor should be no factor. This country needs to stop being so soft!
