 “No electricity, no vote,” South Africans threaten to shun ruling party ANC Residents in Katlehong, a township outside Johannesburg, have resolved to boycott South Africa's upcoming local elections on November 4 due to long-standing failures by authorities to provide basic services like electricity. For over 20 years, around 180 households in the community have relied on illegal electrical connections pulled from neighboring areas to power their homes. Angry over the lack of formal grid infrastructure, residents are directing their frustration at the ruling African National Congress (ANC). "We have made a collective decision: no electricity, no vote," said community leader Lesiba Rankapole, 59. "We know it is illegal, but we had no choice because we cannot live without electricity. Our children cannot progress without electricity." "I was born ANC, but today I do not want anyone to tell me about the ANC because I am suffering," added 57-year-old resid...

RE: ARMY OFFICER ARRESTED FOR CULTISM IN EDO .#PRESS RELEASE.

No photo description available.
     1. The attention of Headquarters 4 Brigade Nigerian Army has been drawn to a media publication dated 23 March, 2019. In the said publication, it was alleged that Private Igbavbou Lucky and not Private Opiri Stephen as erroneously published was alleged to have been arrested and paraded by the State Police Command for cultist activities.
2. For emphasis, Nigerian Army (NA) is a professional organization with extant policies that regulates the conduct of its personnel. The NA does not allow any of its personel to belong to any confraternity such as cult groups and related associations. Consequently, any of its personnel who crosses the red line in this regard will face the full rigours of military discipline.
3. The alleged case of Private Igbavbou Lucky who was arrested is an isolated case. Additionally, it is germane to state that preliminary investigation revealed that the said suspect is not a personnel of 4 Brigade Nigerian Army as erroneously stated in the said publication but a deserter from 101 SF Bn in the North East of the country since January 2019. Thus, his conduct is a complete negation of the minimum behavioural conduct expected from a personnel of the Nigerian Army. I also wish to use this medium to appeal to journalists to verify their stories before publication in order to avoid negative reportage capable of bringing the image of the Brigade or the NA into disrepute.
4. The general public should be rest assured that the case will be thoroughly investigated and the military justice system will take it course.
5. You are requested to please disseminate this information to the general public through your medium.
