 “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.

I recently lost a pregnancy, actress — Toyin Abraham reveals

Award-winning Nollywood actress and producer, Toyin Abraham, has revealed that she recently lost a pregnancy.

The actress opened up during an interview on Sunday night on Channels Television’s Rubbin minds with Ebuka Obi-Uchendu.

She also said people usually ask her when she will have another baby despite having a son and a step daughter with her husband, Kola Ajeyemi, adding that when the time is right she will conceive and have another child.

Abraham, who lamented how people body shame her calling her “fat” said she does not allow the negative comments and remarks get to her. She said she would rather block people who insult her about her body adding that most people make passive comments without actually knowing what others go through in real life.

Abraham said, “Things happen and I get so bloated sometimes and people start saying, ‘you’re too fat, look at your husband he’s young, but look at you’ but they don’t understand.

“Guess what I am used to it already, because if you let all these things get to you, you will just die of depression. Once I see your comments and if I’m not ok with it, I just block the person.”

On the loss of her pregnancy she said, “They always want you to have a child, obviously I have a step daughter and I have a son but they keep asking when will you have another child.

“It’s not always easy but when the time is right the pregnancy will stay and you will see it.”

When asked if she wants to have more children, Abraham said, “Yes I want to have more kids. I was actually pregnant but I lost it. It’s fine though. But when it happened I cried, I cried a lot because I just want to have one or two more kids and I’m done, but things happen.”
