 “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...

 Soludo bans loud preaching in Anambra markets, imposes N500,000 fine after confronting preacher


Anambra State Governor, Prof. Chukwuma Soludo, has issued a warning to roadside preachers using loudspeakers in public spaces, particularly in markets, accusing them of causing noise pollution and disturbing residents.


Soludo declared that anyone caught violating the noise pollution order would face a ₦500,000 fine.


A viral video circulating on social media on Saturday captures the governor confronting an unidentified roadside preacher at a market, instructing him to stop disrupting traders with his preaching. He advised the preacher to either preach in a church or rent an open field, emphasizing that those interested in listening would seek him out there.


Addressing traders at what is believed to be Ochanja Market in Onitsha, Soludo stated, “If you want to preach the word of God, go to your church. You are causing noise pollution here. You cannot come to a marketplace and disturb everyone.”


He reiterated that markets are not places of worship and that unauthorized religious activities in public spaces would not be tolerated. “If you want to preach, go to a church. Those who want to listen will come to you; you cannot force people in the market to hear your message.”


The governor emphasized that anyone attempting to turn a public space into a church would be charged accordingly. “You will pay ₦500,000 because we cannot allow this. We have banned loudspeakers in markets due to noise pollution, which affects people’s eardrums. You cannot force people to listen to your preaching. We are cracking down on fake pastors and prophets in Anambra.”
