 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.

 APC Clarifies Why Shettima Was Excluded from Tinubu’s Second-Term Endorsement


The All Progressives Congress (APC) has addressed speculations surrounding the omission of Vice President Kashim Shettima from the party’s recent endorsement of President Bola Tinubu for a second term in 2027. Speaking on Monday, APC National Vice Chairman (North East), Mustapha Salihu, clarified that including Shettima in the endorsement would have implied that Tinubu had already selected his running mate for the upcoming election.


“It would have been inappropriate to endorse the Vice President along with the President because it would pre-assume that he is the running mate,” Salihu explained.


The clarification follows the North-East APC stakeholders’ meeting in Gombe on Sunday, where the region unanimously endorsed President Tinubu for re-election but notably excluded Shettima. The omission has sparked widespread speculation about the Vice President’s political future, with many questioning his role in Tinubu’s 2027 re-election bid.


Salihu’s remarks aim to quell concerns, emphasizing that the decision was a procedural one and not a reflection of Shettima’s standing within the party. The APC’s stance comes as political alignments and strategies begin to take shape ahead of the 2027 general elections.
