 South Africa says US misrepresented its policies after visa curbs South Africa's foreign ministry said on Wednesday that it ‌had noted with concern U.S. visa restrictions on some people from South Africa announced by U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio a day earlier. The foreign ministry added in a statement that ⁠the U.S. announcement aligned with "the mischaracterisation of South Africa's domestic policies by fringe groups". "We maintain that challenges in our bilateral relations with the USA can only be resolved by constructive engagement through state actors on both sides of the diplomatic channel not unilateral acts," the statement said, Reuters reported.

 Kano Anti-Graft Agency Withdraws from Investigation into Alleged Rice Palliative Diversion


The Kano State Public Complaints and Anti-Corruption Commission (PCACC) has withdrawn from investigating the alleged diversion and rebagging of rice palliatives in the state.


At a press briefing in Kano, the Commission's Chairman, Muhyi Magaji, explained that new findings had revealed the rice in question to be the property of a private individual, not the Federal Government or the public.


Magaji stated, "The Commission has determined that the rice belongs to an individual. Since the Federal Government has not made any claim to the rice, we have no choice but to withdraw from the case."


The controversy began when reports surfaced alleging that bags of rice, marked with the President’s image and labeled "Not for sale," were being rebagged and potentially sold in the open market.


Magaji clarified that although the rebagging was done using bags bearing the President’s image and the "Not for sale" inscription, the Commission’s authority had been limited due to proof of private ownership and the lack of an official complaint from the Federal Government.


He reaffirmed the Commission’s dedication to transparency but emphasized that it could not proceed beyond its mandate in this instance. The case has sparked public concern, with many questioning the integrity of the rebagging process and the legitimacy of the palliative distribution. The Commission's withdrawal leaves several questions about the rice's intended use and the legality of the rebagging unresolved.
