 “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.

Russian Convict Released Twice to Fight in Ukraine After Killing Elderly Woman



A Russian convict, Ivan Rossomakhin, who was initially released from prison to fight in the war in Ukraine, has been released a second time to return to the front after killing an elderly woman, according to the relatives of the victim. "Grandma’s killer has escaped punishment for his crime – again – and has gone to fight in the war," Anna Pekareva, the granddaughter of 85-year-old Yulia Byuskikh, told the BBC.


Rossomakhin was originally serving a 14-year sentence for murder before being released in 2022 to join the Wagner mercenary group. After his time on the front lines, he was permitted to return to his hometown of Vyatskiye Polyany in Russia’s Kirov Region. It was during this time that he allegedly attacked and murdered Yulia Byuskikh in her own home.


The second release of Rossomakhin, despite the brutal crime, has sparked outrage and concern among the residents and relatives of the victim. Many fear that justice has not been served and that the war is being used as a loophole for convicted criminals to avoid proper punishment for their crimes.
