 “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.

IT'S NOW A CRIMINAL OFFENCE FOR ONE BUSHEL OF RICE NOT TO REACH 100 CUPS- EBONYI GOVERNOR, NWIFURU. (PHOTO).


It's Now A Criminal Offence For One Bushel Of Rice Not To Reach 100 Cups - Ebonyi Governor, Nwifuru 

Governor Francis Ogbonna Nwifuru has said it is now a criminal offence to sell one bushel of rice which is not up to 100 Cups, Igbere TV reports. 

Governor Nwifuru stated this during a meeting with stakeholders of Abakaliki Rice Mill. 

According to him, "Earlier today, I invited the stakeholders of Abakaliki Rice Mill for a crucial meeting, over certain indications that pointed to steady decrease in value of the industry, chiefly due to leadership problems."

"I have therefore directed that the operations of the Abakaliki Rice Mill must return to the best standards, where a bushel of rice must be 100 cups complete, while half bushel must be 50 cups complete. It is now a criminal offense to shortchange customers. The current leadership will serve out their remaining tenure and everyone has to obey their instructions."

"We all have to work together and explore the great possibilities of these Ebonyi signatures, like our Rice Mill, to drive our economy and make the lives of Ebonyi people, better."
