 “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...

 EFCC Arraigns Five for Fraudulent Internet Activities in Gombe

 

The Gombe Zonal Directorate of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, has arraigned Abulrazak Yusuf, Maxwell Gyang, Amos Samson, Abdulgawiy Jamilu and Abel Dung Davou before Justice Amina A. Muhammad of the Federal High Court, sitting in Gombe, Gombe State. 

 

They were arraigned on separate one-count charge, bordering on impersonation and intent to defraud.

 

The charge against Gyang reads: “That you, Maxwell Gyang, sometimes in 2025 at Gombe, Gombe State within the jurisdiction of this honorable court with intent to defraud did impersonate, by creating a fake Facebook profile of Anna Katarzyn and Telegram X fake profile of Francesca Macro, using your Tecno Spark 20C mobile phone to defraud foreign nationals of Romania and Poland to wit: Florina Flori, Robert Horis, Floriff Floc by gaining financial advantage to yourself in the total sum of $250 USD (Two hundred and fifty United State Dollar) and thereby committed an offence contrary to Section 22 (2) (b) (i) of the Cybercrimes (Prohibition, Prevention etc.) Act 2025 and punishable under Section 22 (2) (iv) of the same Act.”

 

Four of the defendants, Yusuf, Gyang, Samson and Jamiu pleaded “guilty” to their charge, while Davou pleaded "not guilty," prompting the prosecution counsel, M.D Aliyu to ask the court to convict and sentence the guilty quartet and a trial date for Davou. His counsel, however, applied for his bail.

 

The judge adjourned till July 2, 2025 for the conviction and sentencing of the guilty four and ordered that they should be remanded in EFCC’s custody, while he adjourned till June 26, 2025 for the hearing of Davou’s bail application and ordered that he should be remanded in Gombe Correctional Centre.
