 “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.

 UNICAL Pro Chancellor commends NYSC for exposing fake graduates


The Pro-Chancellor of the University of Calabar, DIG Udom Ekpoudom (retd), has commended the National Youth Service Corps for exposing fake graduates who were fraudulently mobilised.


He made this known in a phone interview with a journalist.


He pledged to take action against the staff involved in mobilisation of these fake graduates from the institution.


It should be recalled that the NYSC’s Director of Information and Public Relations, Eddy Megwa, listed 101 individuals who were fraudulently mobilised from UNICAL between the 2021 and 2023 service years.


The NYSC described this as a major crackdown on certificate fraud and a step towards ensuring the integrity of the national programme and preventing unqualified individuals from participating.


DIG Ekpoudom disclosed that the institution is conducting a thorough investigation to identify the staff responsible and vowed to sanction the offenders accordingly.


“NYSC has done very well in this regard. We are trying to identify the staff involved to address the issue appropriately. The individuals are not students; they forged documents to secure employment.


“This is the first step. The next step is to uncover those behind this criminal activity,” he said.
