 “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...

GOLD RING WORK BY 2PAC 3 DAYS BEFIRE HIS SHOOTING GOES ON SALE FOR $327,000 (N257M).(PHOTO).

WILL YOU BUY IT ? 😊
Gold Ring Worn By 2pac 3 Days Before His Shooting Goes On Sale For ₦‎257million 

A ring designed and worn by Tupac Shakur is set to go on auction – and could sell for nearly £250,000 ($327,000; N257m)

The sovereign ring will sell as part of auction house Sotheby's sale marking the 50th anniversary of hip-hop.

It features a jewel-encrusted "crown" with gold, ruby and diamond.

Tupac was classed as rap royalty but was gunned down in 1996 in a drive-by shooting in Las Vegas, US, aged just 25.

The murder came three days after wearing the ring at his final public appearance at the MTV Video Music Awards.

This ring marked a new phase in his life, in which he abandoned his "Thug Life" persona.

The piece of hip-hop history is expected to sell for £152,719 and £229,079 at auction in New York this week.

Following a stint in prison, Tupac launched media conglomerate Euphanasia Incorporated and began transitioning into a more executive role in the music industry.

And to celebrate the new era of his career, he marked the occasion by commissioning two new pieces of extravagant jewellery.

He told his godmother Yaasmyn Fula, a friend of his mum's who also served as his "advisor, auntie, money manager, caretaker, and lifelong supporter", that he wanted a piece of jewellery to serve as an act of 'self-coronation'.

The finished gold crown ring boasts 10 carats of cabochon rubies and pavé diamonds and an inscription reading "Pac & Dada 1996".
