 “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.

ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER DELIVERED A BLISTERING CRITIQUE OF BOTH POLITICAL PARTIES WHILE DISCUSSING THE ONGOING ICE RAIDS AND PROTESTS IN LOS ANGELES. (PHOTO).

Speaking at the red carpet premiere of his Netflix series "Fubar," the former Republican governor of California didn't mince words about the immigration crisis.


 "This is the result of Democrats and Republicans not being able to come together in this immigration reform," Schwarzenegger stated, adding that politicians have been avoiding the subject for decades because "it's an advantage to both parties to not do it."

 Trump has deployed 2,000 National Guard troops to Los Angeles in response to the protests that erupted following the ICE raids, with an additional 2,000 troops and 700 Marines sent subsequently. Mayor Karen Bass has imposed a nightly curfew in downtown L.A. where most protests have been concentrated.
