 “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.

Trump renews claim that Harris paid for endorsements, calls for former VP to be ‘prosecuted’

President Trump on Saturday repeated his accusations that former Vice President Kamala Harris paid celebrities to endorse her during the 2024 presidential election. He claimed Harris and the celebrities involved should face prosecution for allegedly breaking the law.

Trump alleged that Harris paid Beyoncé $11 million, Oprah Winfrey $3 million, and Al Sharpton $600,000 for endorsements. In a Truth Social post, he wrote, “You are not allowed to pay for an endorsement. It is totally illegal to do so. Kamala and all of those that received endorsement money, broke the law. They should all be prosecuted!”


The former vice president’s campaign has denied these claims. Oprah Winfrey previously stated she was not paid for her appearance alongside Harris at a campaign event, noting that production fees were covered but not paid directly to her. Additionally, Federal Elections Commission records show the Harris campaign reimbursed Beyoncé’s production company $165,000, an amount consistent with event production costs rather than endorsement payments.
