 “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.

JUSTIN BIEBER OPENED UP ABOUT HIS DEEPEST STRUGGLES IN A SERIES OF RAW INSTAGRAM POSTS OVER FATHER'S DAY WEEKEND, SHARING PRIVATE TEXT MESSAGES WHERE HE ADMITTED TO BEING "TRAUMATIZED" AND HAVING "ANGER ISSUES.".(PHOTOS ).


 Justin Bieber opened up about his deepest struggles in a series of raw Instagram posts over Father's Day weekend, sharing private text messages where he admitted to being "traumatized" and having "anger issues."


 The 31-year-old singer posted screenshots of a heated exchange with a friend who apparently criticized his behavior. Bieber's response was painfully honest: "My anger is a response to pain I have been thru. Asking a traumatized person not to be traumatized is simply mean."


 When the friend called his behavior "lashing out," Bieber ended the friendship, saying he wouldn't accept anyone dismissing his emotional responses to trauma.


 But perhaps most striking was his follow-up message to fans: "Quit asking me if I'm okay. I know I'm broken. I know I have anger issues. Don't you think if I could have fixed myself, I would have already?"


 The father of baby Jack Blues revealed his exhaustion from constantly trying to heal, saying only his faith keeps him going. This level of vulnerability from someone in the spotlight is both rare and necessary.


 How do we better support celebrities struggling with mental health? Should we respect their boundaries when they ask for space? .
