 “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.

"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.

 A 5-year-old Missouri girl is fighting for her life after a neighbor's dog got loose and attacked her while she played in her back yard.


Althea was playing in her backyard in Independence on Tuesday, October 8th, when a dangerous encounter occurred. A neighbor's unrestrained dog entered the backyard where Althea was playing under adult supervision. 


 The dog viciously attacked Althea and caused significant damage before it could be neutralized.


Animal services were able to detain the dog on the day of the attack and it has been euthanized.


According to a GoFundMe set up by Althea's father's employer, she suffered a skull fracture,  broken ribs and a broken collarbone. He shared that doctors fear she may have permanent brain damage and she has been placed in a medically induced coma as she currently fights for her life.


Our thoughts are with the family as they cope with this tragic event. We are rooting for Althea to have a full recovery!
