 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.

 Why road accidents reduced in Abia – FRSC


The Sector Commander of the Federal Road Safety Commission (FRSC), Abia State Command, Corps Commander Ngozi Ezeoma, has said that Abia has experienced a gradual and steady decrease in Road Traffic Crashes (RTC) based on reports from 2015 to 2023, attributing the decline to the efforts of the FRSC and its stakeholders to curb road recklessness by road users.


Ezeoma, who spoke as the keynote lecturer during a town hall meeting/rally organized by the Abia State Orientation Agency and the FRSC in Umuahia, Abia State, said that the public enlightenment program for all road users in the state had become very necessary.


She disclosed that 85 percent of accidents on roads are caused by human factors, while 15 percent are caused by mechanical and environmental factors.


She listed the human factors as driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs, illiteracy and poor driving skills, overconfidence while driving, speeding, distracted driving, fatigue, indiscriminate parking, and dangerous overtaking.


She identified poor vehicle maintenance as a major mechanical factor causing road accidents.


Also, the acting Director General of the Abia State Orientation Agency, Urena Abazie, advised Abia residents to adhere to road safety rules and avoid social nuisances.


Commissioner for Transport, Dr. Chimezie Ukaegbu, urged vehicle owners to subject their vehicles to regular inspections using the Abia VIO computerized testing centers located in Aba and Umuahia.


Also speaking, the Deputy State Commander of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA), Abia State, Anu Binta Maurice, warned transporters and other road users against drug abuse.
