 “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...

'I Never Dreamed of Weddings'-Nancy Isime


Nigerian actress Nancy Isime has opened up about her views on marriage, revealing that her focus has always been on building a successful career and achieving financial independence rather than dreaming of a traditional wedding. In a recent interview on the Creativitea Live with Lynda podcast, Isime shared that, unlike many young girls, she never fantasized about getting married but instead envisioned a life where she was working and financially independent.


"I've always seen myself working," Isime said. "When young girls sit down and daydream about getting married, I never did. I used to daydream about working, making my own money, and being independent. I fear that I might not even have my dream wedding because what is a dream wedding? If I get married, it will just be a wedding that we both agree on, whether big or small."


The actress explained that her mindset was shaped by her upbringing, having grown up in a humble household where money was scarce. She emphasized that this experience fueled her determination to be self-sufficient. "I've always been that child who saw myself having my own money. I came from a background where asking for things was almost taboo because there was no money. So I couldn't wait to have my own and do my own thing," Isime added.


Her focus remains on living the life she envisions for herself. "That's why I believe in spending on myself. I spend on myself so much that nobody can say, 'If not for me, you wouldn't have this life,'" she concluded.
