 “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...

MINNESOTA MAN WHO WAS RELEASED ON PAROLE IN MARCH IS ON THE RUN AFTER TAKING THE LIFE OF HIS PREGNANT GIRLFRIEND AND SHOOTING ANOTHER VICTIM DURING A CARJACKING. (PHOTO).


 BOLO: Minnesota man who was released on parole in March is on the run after taking the life of his pregnant girlfriend and shooting another victim during a carjacking.


36-year-old Mychel Stowers is being sought in connection to the October 19th fatal shooting of 35-year-old Damara Kirkland. He is being sought on two charges of second degree homicide due to Damara being 2 months pregnant.


Officers in St. Paul, Minnesota were responding to reports of shots fired when they discovered Damara deceased on the floor. A short time after responding to the shots fired report,  police stated a 911 call was made in relation to a carjacking. 


Once on scene at the carjacking incident, police learned a man matching Mychel's description had shot the driver of the vehicle and shot at his passenger before taking the car. The driver suffered a broken femur as a result of the gunshot wound. Forensic analysis has confirmed the firearm used in the carjacking was the same as the one used in the homicide.


Mychel Stowers was paroled from prison in March. He had been incarcerated for the 2008 death of a St. Paul man. At the time of Damara's passing, Mychel was living in a halfway house and had been granted a pass to visit Damara. 


Mychel called the Ramsey County Sheriff's Department on the day of the shooting and confessed while indicating he was going to turn himself in. However he has failed to do so at this time and the car he stole was found abandoned in a parking lot on Thursday.


If you or anyone you know has any information regarding Mychel's whereabouts please call St.Paul PD at (651) 291-1111.
