 “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.

JAMES CAMERON, IS PREPARING TO MAKE WHAT HE EXPECTS WILL BE HIS LOWEST-EARNING MOVIE EVER - AND HE COULDN'T BE MORE COMMITTED TO THE PROJECT.(PHOTO).

As global tensions escalate and the doomsday clock ticks closer to midnight, Cameron believes audiences need this stark reminder of nuclear weapons' devastating human cost.
