 “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...

RACHEL BROSNAHAN, WHO'S SET TO STAR AS LOIS LANE IN JAMES GUNN'S UPCOMING SUPERMAN FILM, HAS DELIVERED SOME HARD TRUTHS ABOUT ACTORS IN THE SUPERHERO MOVIE SPACE.(PHOTO).


 Rachel Brosnahan, who's set to star as Lois Lane in James Gunn's upcoming Superman film, has delivered some hard truths about actors in the superhero movie space.

 In a candid interview with Amanda Seyfried, she called out fellow actors who sign on to big-budget comic book movies only to publicly criticize them when they don't perform well at the box office.


 "I don't know why people say yes [to a project] only to then turn around and complain about it," Brosnahan stated. "Look, I don't want to shit on other actors, but there was a minute where it was cool to not like superhero movies and to look back on projects like this and pooh-pooh them. Do it or don't do it, and then stand by it."

While she didn't name names, her comments seem to reference recent situations like Dakota Johnson's response to Madame 

Web's poor reception, where she blamed creative decisions "made by committee" rather than taking ownership. Chris Hemsworth also criticized Thor: Love and Thunder as being "too silly."


  This trend of actors distancing themselves from failed superhero projects reveals a deeper issue in Hollywood - the lack of accountability when big-budget films don't connect with audiences. Brosnahan's stance is refreshing because it acknowledges that actors have agency in choosing their projects and should stand behind their work, regardless of outcome.
