Rejected petition Offer Hendre Fourie British Citizenship

More details

Hendre Fourie is a South African man who has lived in England for 8 years. He was 6 months away from getting his British Citizenship when he had to retire from playing rugby due to a persistant shoulder injury. This was an injury he picked up whilst playing for England.

He is in a position whereby he has fought hard for England on the rugby pitch and has been a great ambassador for our country. Our country should be ashamed if we allow a man with so much talent to be deported when he has given us so much.

Please sign this petition to encourage our government to act on this grossly unfair situation.
