 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.

 2025: Anxiety as Nigerians to pay 40 per cent more for calls, data


There is anxiety over a possible 40 percent telecommunications service tariff hike in Nigeria this New Year.

This comes as telecommunications subscribers in Nigeria, under the aegis of the National Association of Telecoms Subscribers (NATCOMS), rejected the proposed telecoms tariff hike.

The subscribers said it would be insensitive for the Nigerian government to approve a telecoms tariff hike amid the existing economic hardship.

In recent days, there has been widespread speculation of a 40 percent telecoms hike.

Accordingly, this means that all telecom services offered by operators such as MTN, Glo, Airtel, and others would increase by 40 percent. For instance, a data bundle priced at N1000 would rise to N1,400 in the new tariff regime expected to kick off in 2025.

Meanwhile, official sources in the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) refuted the tariff hike claims.

This comes at a time when telecom operators, in a recent statement, threatened a shutdown if tariffs are not increased.

Last year, the NCC continued to refuse to approve telecom operators’ requests for tariff hikes.
