 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.

 Blackout As Nigeria’s National Grid Collapses Again


Nigeria was plunged into darkness on Wednesday afternoon after yet another collapse of the national electricity grid.


An update from the official monitoring handle showed that as of 12:25 PM, power distribution had dropped drastically across the country. Abuja DisCo was receiving 20MW, Benin DisCo 10MW, Ibadan DisCo 20MW, while Eko, Enugu, Ikeja, Jos, Kaduna, Kano, Port Harcourt, and Yola DisCos all recorded zero supply.


This latest collapse comes just months after a major outage in March, which left many parts of the country, including Lagos, without electricity. That incident occurred only days after the federal government announced what it described as a “historic rise” in power generation to 6,000MW.


However, by 2:00 PM on Wednesday, power output had crashed below 1,000MW, down from about 4,000MW generated earlier in the day. The peak recorded generation was 5,284MW.


Confirming the disruption, the Ikeja Electricity Distribution Company (IKEDC) informed its customers in a notice:

“Dear esteemed customer, please be informed that we experienced a system outage today, 07/03/2025, at 14:00hrs, affecting supply within our network.”
