 “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...

JD VANCE ESCORTED OUT OF PITTSBURGH'S ICONIC RESTAURANT, DESPITE HARRIS HOLDING AN EVENT IN THE SAME VENUE. (PHOTO).

 JD Vance escorted out of Pittsburgh's iconic restaurant, despite Harris holding an event in the same venue


Senator JD Vance faced an unexpected setback during his campaign in Pittsburgh when he was denied entry to the iconic Primanti Bros. Restaurant and Bar. While the venue recently hosted a gathering for the Kamala Harris-Tim Walz campaign, Vance and his supporters were reportedly escorted out shortly after their arrival. Reportedly, the furious MAGA supporters “got mad, booing the workers as they were led out.”


The ‘controversial’ running mate of Donald Trump faced a chilly welcome at the iconic restaurant chain, which, according to a source, was already informed about the Trump-Vance campaign’s planned visit.


A campaign insider told Fox News Digital that when the vice presidential team arrived at Primanti Bros. Restaurant and Bar in North Versailles, Pennsylvania, on Saturday, their hyped-up gathering with rally supporters and fans was abruptly cut short as employees showed them the way to exit gate.


According to the outlet, an employee reportedly told Vance and his guards that it was "not a place to campaign" and that the Ohio senator was "not allowed in the restaurant." However, the drama didn’t end there. The employee further added that if the campaign didn’t leave immediately, the manager threatened to call the police. This resulted in anger among Vance supporters, who started booing the restaurant workers immediately.

Different rules for Kamala Harris?

Interestingly, the same restaurant had welcomed Vice President Harris just a month prior in its Moon Township outlet, even prompting an early closure for a “private event.” On that day, the place's regulars were told to pack up early, much to their dismay. One local recounted their frustration about wanting to enjoy an afternoon lunch and watch some sports when they were informed that it was "last call,” according to Fox. The waitstaff said they had to close early because of the campaign's visit, which was actually the campaign's big day. Later videos and photos surfaced of the campaign mingling with some high-profile guests.


Later after a brief confusion, according to the NY Post, the Primanti Brothers released a statement stating they'd let Vance and his people come inside the restaurant. "Our doors are open to all patrons who wish to dine with us," the statement said aiming to defuse concerns about a potential conservative boycott. Vance emphasised that he still holds the chain in high regard.


“Without any advance notice, today’s campaign stop caused some momentary confusion for our staff. However, Senator Vance and his team were welcomed into our restaurant shortly after and engaged with our guests inside and on the property.”
