Mr. Brown finally gets to meet his baby after being deported

Due to problems with his travel paperwork, he was barred from entering South Africa from his home country of Zimbabwe. Mr Brown, real name Lynol Siwela, a music producer, was deported back to Zimbabwe by Home Affairs for overstaying his visa and failing to renew his work authorization. The rapper was forced to abandon his pregnant wife in South Africa.

“It was tough not being able to be around my wife while she was pregnant. She needed me around and I wanted to be there during the pregnancy and birth. But all is well now, we are reunited after a short visit.”

Speaking about his deportation, he said, “Like I said before, it’s not a big deal, really. I overstayed for a month. I was supposed to renew my work permit but didn’t get a chance. I was staying in SA legally.”
