 “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.

5 PEOPLE CHARGED IN DEATH OF MATTHEW PERRY INCLUDING HIS ASSISTANT AND 2 DOCTORS. (PHOTO).


 5 people charged in death of Matthew Perry including his assistant and 2 doctors.


Arrests have been made close to one year after the untimely death of Matthew Perry. According to the U.S Attorney, Martin Estrada, all the defendants knew what they were doing and used Perry's addictions to benefit themselves. 


Among those charged were Matthew Perry's live-in personal assistant, Kenneth Iwamasa, and two medical doctors, Salvador Plasencia and Mark Chavez.


Matthew Perry had been undergoing ketamine therapy to treat his severe anxiety and depression.  As a result he became addicted to the drug and when doctors cut off his supply he sought out the drug from illegal sources. Allegedly, the doctors that are charged were selling the drug illegally to Perry's assistant. 


Police have released that Matthew received several injections of ketamine administered by his assistant on the day of his death. This resulted in his having an amount of ketamine that would be used as anesthesia during surgery.


Two of the five people were taken into custody while two others, including his assistant, have already pleaded guilty and the fifth person has already agreed to a guilty plea.


There is no report as to what type of sentence the five involved individuals are going to face.
