 “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...

NIGERIAN WIDOW CRIES OUT FOR JUSTICE AFTER LOAN APP OWNER PUBLISHES FAKE OBITUARY OF HER.(PHOTO)


Nigerian widow cries out for justice after loan app owner publishes fake obituary of her

A Nigerian widow identified as Modupe Elizabeth Oladipupo has cried out for help after a loan company she contacted a while back, published a fake obituary of her, in a bid to get some money off her.

In a chat with LIB, Oladipupo said on May 22, she contacted the loan company and asked for a loan of N13, 000. She said when the process was completed, she was credited the N13, 000 and told she would pay N20, 000 in return. Oladipupo said she immediately contacted an agent of the company and told them she was no longer interested as the interest demanded, was too much. Oladipupo said she immediately returned the money to the account provided. 

She said she was shocked to receive a call from a lady from the company, saying she owes them N10, 000. She said all her explanation to the lady fell on deaf ears as the lady insisted she owes them N10000 and that they will tarnish her image if she failed to pay back. She told LIB that she was shocked to receive calls from family and friends inquiring about her welfare after the lady sent a poster of her image and a write-up claiming she was ill and needed some money.

Oladipupo said the female representative of the loan company went further to create her obituary and has forwarded same to her phone contacts.

She said she has reported the matter to the police and that the officers contacted the lady who insists she will not stop tarnishing her image until the money she "owes" her company is paid.

Oladipupo said she went to the loan app to seek financial help after she was attacked by one-chance robbers who cleared her savings of N400, 000.

She says she is alive and fine.
