 “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.

BRYAN KOHBERGER HAS AGREED TO PLEAD GUILTY TO ALL COUNTS IN THE BRUTAL MURDERS OF FOUR UNIVERSITY OF IDAHO STUDENTS, ACCEPTING FOUR CONSECUTIVE LIFE SENTENCES TO AVOID THE DEATH PENALTY.(PHOTO).


 Bryan Kohberger has agreed to plead guilty to all counts in the brutal murders of four University of Idaho students, accepting four consecutive life sentences to avoid the death penalty.


 The criminology PhD student will officially enter his plea this Wednesday, just weeks before his trial was set to begin in August. Kohberger was charged with killing roommates Kaylee Goncalves, Madison Mogen, Xana Kernodle, and Kernodle's boyfriend Ethan Chapin in their off-campus home in November 2022.


 The quadruple stabbing shocked the small college town of Moscow, Idaho, and launched a seven-week manhunt before Kohberger's arrest in Pennsylvania. DNA evidence linked him to the crime scene, prosecutors said.


 In a letter to victims' families, prosecutors explained that the plea deal ensures Kohberger will spend the rest of his life in prison without the possibility of parole, while sparing families from decades of potential appeals and uncertainty.


 The case captivated national attention and raised questions about campus safety.
