BBC| A FAMILY whose relatives have been denied visas to attend the funeral of their daughter have been told their applications have been rejected again.
Five-year-old Andrea Gada, of Downland Close in Eastbourne, East Sussex, was hit by a car in the town on 16 December and died the following day.
The prime minister said he would review the case after her grandparents and aunt in Zimbabwe were refused visas.
But the Home Office has again said they will not be allowed entry.
Andrea’s parents, Wellington and Charity Gada, are from Zimbabwe and were granted asylum in the UK.
Their daughter’s funeral was delayed because the family were refused visas.
Liberal Democrat MP Stephen Lloyd raised the matter during Prime Minister’s Questions on Wednesday and said he would act as a guarantor to ensure the relatives returned to Zimbabwe.
David Cameron said he would look at the case and make sure the Home Office had a careful look to see what could be done.
Mr and Mrs Gada have now been told the Home Office has reviewed the case but will still not grant the visas.
In a letter to Mr Lloyd it said it would not overturn the refusal because the family members do not meet the requirements of the immigration rules.

Shame GB, shame UK! Even ID Smiths Rhodesian Front would not have been so insensitive. Try asking Tony Blair? Just read Amir Khan a British Moslem boxer phoned Cameron saying he was refused visa for USA to just commentate on a fight, Cameron phoned Hussain Obama and got visa. That was to talk on TV about boxing, this was to see their child’s child buried! Disgusting.

Why not take this poor kid for burial in Zimbabwe, it is the logical thing to do. Besides it is taboo and against GOD’s will to bury your blood in foreign lands.
This is a sign that God is saying you can’t bury her in this country but you can go against that at your own peril.
