 “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...

EZE NDIGBO IN THAILAND, 13 OTHERS ARRESTED FOR ALLEGED ROMANCE SCAM. (PHOTOS).



Celebrated Eze Ndigbo In Thailand, Ezeneche, 13 Others Arrested For Alleged Romance Scam


August 25, 2023


A 45-year-old Nigerian man, Ezeneche Uzochukwu Jerome, and 13 Thai indigenes have been arrested by the Royal Thai Police for their roles in a romance scam syndicate that defrauded victims of more than 800 million baht.


Ezeneche, in 2021 said he was appointed the king Igbos in six nations of Asia.


According to Bangkok Post, following a series of coordinated police operations across seven provinces, the head of the Crime Suppression Division Pol Maj Gen Montree Theskhan, announced on Friday that his division’s team had carried out raids at 14 different sites on Thursday.


According to statements from the victims, the scammers initiated contact through fake profiles of foreign women on social media platforms.


They were told by the scammers that they were American female soldiers serving in Syria. After winning the victims’ trust, they would express a wish to visit the victims in Thailand.


However, before their journeys, they would inform the victim that they sent gifts or some parcels into Bangkok, via the airports.


They would then lure the victims into paying taxes or other necessary fees in advance on their behalf, adding that they would reimburse the victims when they met.


A group of Thai scammers then contacted the victims pretending to be airport authorities and demanded money for the alleged parcel-receiving process.


After getting the amount they wanted, the scammer would disappear and block all the contact channels with the victims.


The police conducted a further investigation until they identified the gang leader, Jerome. Jerome had been previously charged with a love scam in 2018 but managed to re-engage in the illicit operation.
