 “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...

 Rumpus in Lagos Police command over dismissal of two Inspectors on suspicion of dating


A rather bizarre scenario is currently playing out at the Lagos State Police Command over the dismissal of two police Inspectors suspected to be dating each other.


But the officers have been given seven working days to appeal their dismissal.


The affected officers are Inspectors Adedoyin Damilola with AP/NO 289317 and Makanjuola Modupe with AP/NO 234465, who served at the Bariga Division prior to their ordeal.


The woman Inspector, Modupe Makanjuola was accused by the Divisional Police Officers (DPO), SP Joshua Gbadegeshin of sleeping with his colleague, Inspector Damilola even as he had the intention of going out with her; an accusation the woman inspector denied.


However, it was gathered that the distraught DPO, who allegedly told the woman Inspector that he hadn’t asked any woman out in his life without success, vowed to see to the exit of her and her male Inspector friend out of the police force.


Afraid that the DPO might make good his threat to dismiss them, they jointly wrote a petition to the Commissioner of Police Lagos State Police Command dated August 21, 2023, accusing the DPO of threat to life, conduct likely to cause breach of peace and unprofessional act unbecoming of a senior police officer.


In the petition, the woman Inspector evidenced amorous WhatsApp messages to her from the DPO, which she turned down, including giving out official arms and police camouflage to civilian relatives to go on operation against police Act.


In the meantime, the DPO has written a strongly worded petition to the Commissioner of Police citing dereliction of duty, gross insubordination and disobedience to lawful order against the two inspectors; an action which resulted in their orderly room trial.


“But the Provost Marshall then called us and advised us to write a letter of withdrawal to the petition against the DPO on the ground that he is our senior and that the matter will be amicably settled, which we did on January 5, 2024, not knowing that it was a ploy to nail us.
