 “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...

 Hunter found dead in Ogun forest with bullet wounds


A hunter simply identified as Femi has been found dead with bullet wounds in a forest in the Ijebu Igbo area of Ogun State.

The state Police Public Relations Officer, Omolola Odutola, disclosed in a telephone conversation with PUNCH Online on Monday, that Femi had reportedly gone hunting with one Taoreed on Friday, but failed to return home.

She noted that Femi’s delay in returning home had raised concerns with his wife who reported to the village head.

The village head was said to have organised a search party to comb the forest and the search party found his dead body lying in the forest with bullet wounds.

She said, “On 26/10/2024, one Grace James, a female from Ofemodoko village near Ijebu Igbo reported to the station that on 25/10/2024 at about 1700 hours, her husband, Femi, now deceased, went hunting with an individual known as Taoreed aka Kokoro, but failed to return to their village.

“About 0700 hours on 26/10/2024, his disappearance was brought to the attention of the village head who then organised a search with local hunters. During the search, the body of Femi was found in the forest showing bullet wounds on his back with his gun lying on the ground next to him.”

She added that efforts to locate Taoreed who had gone hunting with Femi proved abortive as he, his wife and his children were nowhere to be found in the village.

The PPRO noted that an investigation has commenced into the matter.

“Suspicion was raised when it was discovered that Taoreed, who had gone hunting with the deceased, had fled the village with his wife and children.

“The body was removed and taken to the State Hospital in Ijebu-Ode for autopsy. This case is currently under preliminary investigation,” Odutola said.
