 “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.

The suspects are, Rabiu Abdullahi,  Sanusi Mohammed Yaro, Ibrahim M. Kofar Soro,  Ibrahim Aliyu and Nura Lawal Kofar Sauri.

Preliminary investigation by the Commission showed that  Rabiu Abdullahi, a  former Director of Collections of the Board and current Permanent Secretary of the Board authorized the opening of a  a bank account in the name of ''BOIRS'' at Sterling bank where he allegedly designated Sanusi Mohammed Yaro, Director of Revenue Account and Ibrahim M. Kofar Soro  as sole signatories to the account. Subsequently, the account became the primary channel through which all the funds  were allegedly funneled to the main beneficiary NADIKKO General Suppliers, a company owned and controlled by Nura Lawal Kofar Sauri,  an Assistant Director of Career Skills/Staff Welfare of the Board.

 

Investigation further revealed that Nura Lawal and his company  ''NADIKKO'' became the principal conduits used to launder the stolen funds. These laundered funds were traced to the various bank accounts of the suspects.
