一 | (ECNS) -- South Africa recently launched its Electronic Travel Authorization (ETA) system on Wednesday, allowing travelers from China, India, Indonesia and Mexico to apply online for entry authorization. President Cyril Ramaphosa attended the launch ceremony at OR Tambo International Airport in Johannesburg, where he announced that the system was officially operational. Under the new system, eligible travelers can apply online from anywhere in the world without having to visit a South African embassy, consulate or visa center. Approved applicants are expected to receive their electronic authorization within 24 hours. The system began a pilot program for travelers from the four countries in September 2025. A South African official said around 216,000 applications have been processed so far, with 6,126 suspected fraudulent applications rejected. The ETA system is currently available at international airports in Johannesburg, Cape Town and Durban. The South African government plans to extend the system to land and sea ports and gradually expand it to more countries and visa categories. 。 An ancient bridge built during the reign of the Roman Emperor Nero has recently emerged from the waters of the Tiber River that usually conceal it, Libero Tecnologia reports.,According to the media outlet, the bridge, whose construction was actually ordered by Nero’s predecessor Caligula, was demolished in 500 AD in order to prevent the Goths from entering and plundering the city, and the remains of the structure have since rested beneath the flowing waters of the Tiber, only reemerging on rare occasions when water level in the river falls “too low.”,The development, Libero Tecnologia warns, is actually a worrisome sign, as Rome and the entirety of Lazio are “on drought alarm,” and the water level in the Tiber had dropped by six centimeters in six days, reaching a state that has only been “seen a few times before.”,Namely, the depth of the Tiber dropped to 1.12 meters this month, while normally it should be between 4 and 5.5 meters.,The situation has occurred amid a lack of rainfall in Rome – the media outlet states that it hasn’t rained there for over a month.,Meanwhile, Nicola Zingaretti, the president of Lazio, reportedly declared a “state of natural disaster,” with local residents and companies being advised not to waste water.。
