 “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...

 Man United abandon £10m documentary due to financial woes and internal tensions


On July 13 – According to renowned UK outlet United in Focus, Manchester United have scrapped plans for a £10 million documentary amid financial difficulties and mounting internal tensions.


The report states that since INEOS took control of the club, balancing United’s finances has been their top priority. Sir Jim Ratcliffe has repeatedly spoken of United’s financial troubles, even warning that the club could face bankruptcy by the end of 2025. Ruthless cost-cutting measures – including mass layoffs at Old Trafford and Carrington – have become the norm, while on-field struggles have only worsened the situation.


Although raising funds remains a pressing concern for INEOS, manager Rúben Amorim recently stepped in to halt the production of a club documentary.


It is understood United recently turned down an Amazon-style “All or Nothing” series worth over £10 million after Amorim requested the club pull out of negotiations.


Football finance expert Kieran Maguire backed Amorim’s decision, suggesting United may have avoided significant trouble. He noted the club has already raised a similar sum through their Asian pre-season tour and said INEOS’s hardline management has strained relationships within the club:


“If cameras caught people looking miserable at Carrington, it wouldn’t be a good look. I find this fascinating because INEOS are usually all about revenue maximisation – I would’ve thought they’d take the £10m as long as they had a fair degree of editorial control. That could’ve been the sticking point: the producers may have wanted more control than Ratcliffe and his team were willing to give. This documentary could very easily have cost them £10m in negative PR.”
