 “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...

Court Adjourns Company, Siblings’ Alleged N10m Fraud Trial Till July 12


Justice Mojisola Dada of the Special Offences Court sitting in Ikeja, Lagos, on Tuesday, June 6, 2023, adjourned till July 12, 2023 “for mention” the N10m fraud trial involving a company, Stelmart Nigeria Limited, alongside its Chief Executive Officer, CEO, Mathew Oluwafemi Moses, and Chief Operating Officer, COO, Mathew Veronica Omolayo.


The defendants, who were arraigned on November 8, 2022, are being prosecuted by the Lagos Zonal Command of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, on a nine-count charge bordering on stealing contrary to Section 285(9)(b) of the Criminal Law of Lagos State.


One of the counts reads: "Stelmart Nigeria Limited, Matthew Veronica Omolayo and Matthew Oluwafemi Moses, on or about the 1st February, 2021 in Lagos, within the jurisdiction of this Honourable Court, dishonestly converted to your own use, the sum of N10,000,000 (Ten Million Naira) property of 03 Capital Nigeria Limited."


They pleaded "not guilty" to all the charges.


At today’s sitting, the prosecution counsel, G.K. Latona, informed the court that the matter was for continuation of trial and that the prosecution was ready to proceed with the day's business.


"I have my witness in court," he said.


 However, the defence counsel, Otunba Dele Babalola, informed the court that the defence had applied for consolidation of the trial.


"We have four different cases in different courts. Two are part-heard. And we have

 written to the Chief Judge requesting the charges to be consolidated before one judge," he said.


In response, Latona, however, noted that "from a single transaction, different offences can occur.


“You can talk of consolidation in a civil case and not in a criminal trial."


Latona stressed further that contrary to the claim of the defence, "the trials are not the same."


After listening to all the arguments, Justice Dada adjourned till July 12, 2023 "for mention".
