 “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.

THERE IS NO CAUSE FOR ALARM


Reports reaching Government is that the appearance of armed masked men in Sienna buses this morning in parts of Onitsha caused some panic among the people.


Truth of the matter is that those they saw were men of  the Anambra State Vigilante Group (AVG).


Following the mild tension and anxiety among the people, Government directed the Department of State Security (DSS) and the 302 Artillery Regiment, Onitsha to join in strengthening the patrol.


Normalcy has since returned to the commercial city. Offices and shops have since reopened.


However, a few miscreants that tried to test the resolve of Government to protect lives and property of its people have been arrested by our security agents and they're presently providing useful information.


Reports from Local Government Chairmen in other parts of the State reveal that people are going about their normal businesses while their local AVGs and Joint Task Forces are on red alert. 


Anambra State Government is therefore calling on Ndi Anambra to go about their legitimate businesses without fear.


The attached videos and photos attest to the normalcy in Onitsha and other parts of the State.


There is no cause for alarm.
