 “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.

 Detroit Judge in very hot water after having 15-year-old girl visiting court on field trip hand-cuffed and put in jail clothes for falling asleep.


District Court Judge Kenneth King has temporarily been removed from the bench after a shocking incident which occurred in his courtroom this week. 


A young girl who was visiting court on a field trip with her class fell asleep. When Judge King noticed the girl sleeping,  he said, "You fall asleep one more time, I'm going to put you in the back, understood?"


At this point the girl talked back to him although what she said has not been reported. It was at this point that King became unhinged ordering the girl to change into jail clothes and the bailiffs to cuff her. He then went on a rant threatening her with juvenile detention and graphically detailing living conditions in juvenile detention centers.


It was announced Thursday that King was being temporarily removed from the bench for necessary training. King defended his actions saying, "I'll do whatever needs to be done to reach these kids and make sure they don't end up in front of me."
