 “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.

GHANAIAN MUSICIAN REGGIE ZIPPY ARRESTED ON HIS BIRTHDAY IN UK OVER FACEBOOK POST LINKED TO EX-WIFE. (PHOTO).


 Ghanaian musician Reggie Zippy arrested on his birthday in UK over Facebook post linked to ex-wife


UK-based Ghanaian musician Reggie Zippy has reportedly been arrested by UK police following a complaint from his ex-wife, Edith Ward, who accused him of v,iolating a non-molestation order.


The news was shared by Phelipe Lyks Wangyims, a close associate of the musician, who revealed that Reggie was picked up by police over a social media post his ex-wife allegedly interpreted as targeting her.


“Eventually, it made sense to contact the police, and to our shock, we found out that Reggy had been arrested,” Phelipe stated. 


“Because his ex-wife Edith reported him for violating a non-molestation order, all because of a Facebook post he made that she has interpreted to mean he was talking about her.”


According to Phelipe, the incident unfolded on Reggie Zippy’s birthday. 


He shared how he initially tried reaching out to wish his friend well, only to discover Reggie’s phones were off. 


“I assumed maybe he was just spending some quiet time with his girlfriend, Afia Broni, until I got a message from Afia saying she couldn’t find him. 


"She had driven around to all his usual hangout spots, but still no sign of him. That’s when the worry kicked in,” he wrote.


After hours of searching, Afia reportedly contacted the police, which led to the discovery that Reggie had been arrested based on the report filed by Edith Ward.
