 “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.

Nigerian Brothers Sentenced to 17.5 Years in US for Sextortion Scheme Leading to Minor’s Suicide



two Nigerian brothers, Samuel and Samson Ogoshi, have been sentenced to 17 and a half years in prison by a US court in Marquette, Michigan, for their involvement in a sextortion scheme that led to the death of a minor. The sentencing follows their extradition from Lagos to the United States in August 2023, where they faced charges related to a sophisticated blackmail operation targeting numerous victims. The court's decision underscores the severe consequences of such crimes and aims to provide justice for the victims affected by their actions.


Samuel Ogoshi, 24, and Samson Ogoshi, 21, were found guilty of orchestrating an elaborate sextortion scam that exploited over 100 individuals, including 11 minors. The perpetrators used coercion and blackmail to manipulate their victims, leading to devastating consequences. The tragic case that prompted their prosecution involved a minor who, unable to withstand the pressure, tragically took their own life.


The case highlights the growing issue of sextortion and cybercrime, emphasizing the need for robust measures to combat such offenses. The US court's ruling serves as a significant step in holding individuals accountable for their roles in these crimes and aims to deter similar activities in the future. The sentencing also reflects ongoing international cooperation in addressing and prosecuting cybercrimes that cross national borders.
