 “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.

KDSG WARNS AGAINST BREAKDOWN OF LAW AND ORDER+ DIRECTS SECURITY AGENCIES TO NIP IN THE BUD ALL THREAT TO PEACE.(PHOTO).#PRESS RELEASE.



KDSG Security Update: Sunday 19th February 2023. 

KDSG warns against breakdown of law and order 

-Directs security agencies to nip in the bud all threats to peace 

The Kaduna State Government has received credible intelligence reports of plans by various groups to deliberately disrupt public peace, by organizing street protests. 

The Kaduna State Government hereby reminds citizens that such protests remain strictly prohibited. Citizens are strongly advised to avoid all actions remotely capable of inciting a breakdown of law and order. 

The Government continues to empathize with citizens who have been placed in untold distress as a result of the CBN cash swap policy. Residents must shun the baitings of mischievous groups hoping to ride on these hardships and incite violence. 

The Government of Kaduna State, and other concerned state governments, are deploying the full instrumentality of the law to attain a proper resolution, and thus bring relief to citizens. 

Government is also studying options for addressing challenges being faced by citizens with regard to transport to their places of work.

Any resort to unruly or violent conduct is illegal and against the public interest which values law and order.

Security agencies have been placed on high alert and have been directed by the Government to decisively uphold law and order.

Citizens are therefore urged to maintain calm, and to remain peaceful and law-abiding as they prepare to exercise their civic franchise in an atmosphere free of all forms of threat. 

Signed 

Samuel Aruwan 
Commissioner, Ministry of Internal Security and Home Affairs, Kaduna State.
