 U.S announces visa curbs for some foreign nationals in South Africa Secretary of State Marco Rubio ‌said on Tuesday the U.S. government was announcing a new visa restriction ​policy targeting some foreign nationals ​in South Africa. The policy targets "foreign ⁠nationals who are responsible for, ​or complicit in, the enactment or ​implementation of laws or policies that enable uncompensated land seizures, race-based discrimination, and/or ​the incitement of imminent violence ​against members of minority ethnic or racial ‌groups ⁠in South Africa," Rubio said in a statement. "The South African government has not adequately addressed the ​previously laid ​out ⁠concerns," Rubio said, Reuters reported. Relations between Washington and Pretoria have ​soured since the start of ​Donald ⁠Trump's second term, with the U.S. president criticizing the country ⁠for ​its policies aimed at ​addressing racial inequality.

 COMMISSIONER CHARGES TOWN PLANNERS ON MASTER PLAN IMPLEMENTATION 


The Commissioner for Physical Planning and Urban Development, Dr. Oluyinka Olumide has urged Town Planning Officers posted to various MDAs to play their role in ensuring adherence to Physical Development Plans in project implementation.


He made this known in Alausa on Friday during an interactive meeting with Town Planning Officers serving in various MDAs.


He said that physical planning was the bedrock of any meaningful development and should be so respected by all Ministries,  Departments, and Agencies (MDAs) of government drawing their projects from the provisions of the Master and Model City Plans.


He added that posting of Town Planning Officers to strategic MDAs such as Ministries of Transportation,  Housing,  Agriculture and Waterfront Infrastructure Development as well as the Lands Bureau and Lagos Resilience Office among others was a deliberate policy to ensure that impactful projects were executed in tandem with the provisions of the Operative Development Plans of the State.


"No state or city can have meaningful, orderly and sustainable development by default but through planning, the responsibility for which has been vested in the Ministry of Physical Planning and Urban Development", he said. 


While urging the Planning Officers to make their impacts felt in their respective postings to provide the needed professional services and guidance, he said that the Ministry would not relent in its efforts to provide the enabling environment for better performance. 


He expressed confidence that the interactive session, which would now be held every month to review activities and compare notes, would go a long way in repositioning physical planning in allied MDAs.
