 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.

EBONYI GOVERNOR WARNS APC ASPIRANTS: ONLY THOSE WITH VISIBLE ACHIEVEMENTS WILL GET PARTY TICKET FOR 2027.(PHOTO).


 Ebonyi State Governor, Francis Nwifuru, has warned that only aspirants with undeniable and visible achievements in their current or previous positions will be supported by the All Progressives Congress (APC) to contest the 2027 general elections in the state.


Governor Nwifuru made the declaration on Wednesday while joining the Deputy Chief Whip of the Senate and Senator representing Ebonyi North Senatorial District, Chief Peter Onyekachi Nwebonyi, to commission several constituency projects.


Represented by the Ebonyi State Chairman of the APC, Chief Stanley Okoro Emegha, the governor stated that the era of recycling non-performing leaders is over, warning that the party will not repeat the mistakes of 2023.


“The time for stock-taking has come, and only those with results and visible achievements will be considered again to fly our party’s tickets for the next general elections,” he said.


“Those who have nothing to show for their years of representation will have themselves to blame as the party will not like to repeat its mistakes in 2027,” Governor Nwifuru declared.


The governor’s strong position is seen as a clear signal to both serving lawmakers and other aspirants that performance and tangible deliverables will be the major criteria for APC ticket allocation ahead of the 2027 polls.


In his remarks at one of the project sites, Senator Peter Onyekachi Nwebonyi said he was motivated to embark on the projects to complement the developmental efforts of Governor Nwifuru in Ebonyi North Senatorial District.


He promised to set a high standard in representative governance that would be difficult, if not impossible, to beat if given the opportunity for re-election in 2027.


“Your Excellency, our Governor and our leader, I was motivated to embark on these projects outside my core legislative duties of lawmaking and oversight functions, to complement your efforts in our senatorial district,” Nwebonyi said.


Some of the projects commissioned and inspected include roads, classroom blocks, street lights, and other infrastructure aimed at improving the lives of residents in the senatorial district.
