 “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.

A PARENT CAUGHT ON VIDEO PUNCHING A PRINCIPAL AND KNOCKING HER FROM HER CHAIR, RESULTING IN A HOSPITAL VISIT. (PHOTO).


 An out of control parent caught on video punching a principal and knocking her from her chair, resulting in a hospital visit.


The shocking event occurred at the Iberville Elementary School in Plaquemine, Louisiana. In the now released video footage, you see the principal (seated in a chair), try to stop three children from walking onto the court while a game was being played.


This act enraged Alessia Parker who is then seen quickly approaching the principal before punching her in the face hard enough to send her sprawling to the ground. The video shows the principal stand back up and use a tissue to wipe blood from her face. She suffered a busted lip.


Fortunately, a Plaquemine police officer was in attendance and witnessed the entire episode. However Parker and another individual identified as Jemecia Godchaux were able to flee the scene before arrest. Jemecia's involvement included egging Parker on and engaging in abusive language to the principal and other parents in attendance. 


This resulted in not only Parker's eventual arrest but also the arrest of Godchaux.


Alessia Parker was arrested on charges of battery to a school teacher, resisting arrest and disturbing the peace. She is being held on $100,000  bond. 


Jemecia Godchaux was also arrested on unspecified felony charges in addition to a number of pending bench warrants.
