 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.

 Labour Party Remains Voice for the Voiceless, Says Abure


Julius Abure, factional chairman of the Labour Party (LP), has reaffirmed the party’s commitment to representing Nigeria’s voiceless and marginalized citizens. Speaking on Thursday during the inauguration of the Directorate of Physically Challenged Persons in Abuja, Abure emphasized that the LP stands apart from other political parties by empowering those typically overlooked in society.


Citing the example of a commercial motorcyclist, popularly known as an ‘okada man,’ who won a House of Representatives seat in the 2023 general elections, Abure highlighted the party’s dedication to uplifting disadvantaged groups, including those with physical or financial disabilities. “The Labour Party is for those who have no voice, those who ordinarily would not be recognized in the scheme of things,” he stated.


Abure stressed that the LP’s social democratic principles prioritize inclusivity, empowering individuals regardless of gender, physical condition, or economic status. “We look out for those people and empower them,” he said, noting that only the Labour Party provides a platform where someone like an okada rider can achieve high political office.


He further explained that disabilities extend beyond physical limitations, encompassing barriers created by Nigeria’s exploitative political landscape. “If you have the potential to develop your community, the leadership capacity, and passion for growth but are held back by exploitative politics, the Labour Party is your destination,” Abure declared.


The LP chairman called for internal transformation within the party, stating, “If we say we are going to change the country, charity should begin at home. To change Nigeria, you must change yourself first.” He also pledged to ensure that those with physical disabilities are supported, reinforcing the party’s commitment to inclusivity and change.
