 “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...

 “They waited for him while he was coming home, and as he alighted from his car to open the gate, they attacked him. I believe it was a targeted attack- Mother of Fishmagnet opens up on how he was killed


Mrs Esther Chinyere Onyekesi, mother of slain businessman and CEO of Fish Magnate Group, Martins Ifesinachi Onyekesi, has for the first time spoken publicly about the killing of her son.


She debunked allegations that Soludo was responsible for the death of the young entrepreneur.


The pained mother, who is also the Woman Leader of the All Progressives Grand Alliance, APGA, the ruling party in the state, said there have been several attempts to politicize young Onyekesi’s death.


The businessman was kidnapped last month, and despite news of payment of ransom, his abductors killed him and dumped the body at a location for the family.


Speaking during a visit to her home by members of Soludo support group, Geeks and Founders Alliance for Soludo, GEFAS, Mrs Onyekesi said her son’s death was a targeted attack.


She said: “They waited for him while he was coming home, and as he alighted from his car to open the gate, they attacked him. I believe it was a targeted attack.”


Mrs Onyekesi refuted allegations by activist, Martins Otse, aka VeryDarkMan, that Governor Chukwuma Soludo was responsible for the death of her son.


“Governor Soludo is not in anyway responsible for the death of my son. We all know that Anambra is now better in terms of security than Soludo met it.


“I have heard such remarks that the governor was responsible for my son’s death, but it’s all lies. Will Soludo come to every home to mount guard?


“In fact, I should even be thankful to the governor because that night when my son was taken, a lot of our party people heard it and were calling, and the governor also reached out to me and also connected me with the police commissioner in an attempt to get my son out.”


She revealed that some politicians had been scheming to make political capital out of her son’s death, with some trying to use her to fight the state governor, but she has refused to allow that happen.


“I have been visited by several persons, including politicians who want to turn the whole thing into politics. Some of them I see them, others I refuse to see them, but I have rejected every move to make it political.


“I have read news of people blaming the governor for it, but that is not true. I dare say that the governor is doing his best in security, and Anambra is better than what it used to be,” she said.


The remains of the slain businessman will on be interred on 28 August 2025 in his hometown, Ikenga, Aguata Local Government Area of Anambra State.
