 “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...

 ‎LASPA TO COMMENCE ENFORCEMENT ON INDISCRIMINATE PARKING ON JULY 28


‎


The Lagos State Parking Authority  (LASPA) will commence enforcement on the indiscriminate parking of vehicles on Lagos roads from Monday, 28th July 2025.


‎The Lagos State Head of Service, Mr. Olabode Agoro, dropped the hint today, during the monthly walk for fitness exercise organised by the Office of the Head of Service for July.


‎Mr. Agoro noted that it would be better for LASPA to start the enforcement on indiscriminate parking of vehicles within the State Secretariat in Alausa and the Old Secretariat in Ikeja before extending it to other parts of the State.


The Permanent Secretary, Public Service Office (PSO), Mrs. Olasunkanmi Oyegbola, reinforcing the charge, called on Civil Servants to imbibe the model parking culture by supporting LASPA.


She urged them to take the message to their colleagues and friends, adding that no victim of the enforcement by LASPA should contact the Office of the Head of Service or the Permanent Secretary for help.


‎Earlier in her sensitisation brief the General Manager, Lagos State Parking Authority (LASPA), Mrs. Adebisi Adelabu, informed that compliance with the parking regulations plays a critical role in achieving a more organised and better Lagos for both motorists and pedestrians.


She commended the State Officials for their support and collaboration with LASPA, in the drive for a better parking culture and emphasised that LASPA would be commencing enforcement on indiscriminate parking on Lagos State roads.


While urging Lagosians to ensure full compliance with the State Parking regulations, she noted that the essence of the enforcement is to mitigate against all forms of traffic congestion, make the roads safer for motorists as well as pedestrians and increase business turnaround time.


Mrs. Adelabu further assured that LASPA is resolved in the actualisation of its mandate for the introduction of a model parking culture and will not tolerate any act of non-compliance with the State Parking Regulations.
