 “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...

UPDATE: THE WIFE OF RAJA RAGHUVANSHI, AN INDORE RESIDENT, HAS BEEN ARRESTED FOR ALLEGEDLY PLANNING HER HUSBAND’S MURDER DURING THEIR HONEYMOON IN MEGHALAYA.(PHOTO).


 In a shocking incident, the wife of Raja Raghuvanshi, an Indore resident, has been arrested for allegedly planning her husband’s murder during their honeymoon in Meghalaya. Raja’s body was found in a deep gorge near Sohrarim, Cherrapunji, on June 2, after the couple went missing on May 23. Police say the wife hired a group of men to kill him shortly after their wedding in Indore.


Meghalaya Director General of Police I. Nongrang confirmed that four people, including the wife, have been arrested in connection with the case. “She played a key role in planning the killing,” Nongrang said. Chief Minister Conrad Sangma praised the police for acting quickly and said the main suspects were caught within seven days. Three men from Madhya Pradesh have been arrested, while one female suspect surrendered. One more person is still being searched for.


Tourist guide Albert Pde gave important information to the police. He said he saw Raja, his wife Sonam, and three men climbing over 3,000 steps from Nongriat to Mawlakhiat on the morning of May 23. Pde had offered to guide them a day earlier, but they chose someone else, a local named Bha Wansai, and stayed overnight at a nearby homestay. He recalled that the three men were walking ahead, speaking in Hindi, and the woman was walking behind them.


Raja’s family, unhappy with the investigation, has asked Prime Minister Narendra Modi to involve the CBI. They believe the case needs a deeper probe. The police continue to investigate, and efforts are being made to find the last suspect.
