 “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.

 ABUJA WOMAN HOSPITALISED AFTER ALLEGED ASSAULT BY HUSBAND OVER PREGNANCY DISPUTE

A woman, Mrs. Charity Olotu Fasasi, has been hospitalised after she was allegedly assaulted by her husband, Mr. David Fasasi Azeez, in Ushafa, Bwari Area Council of the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja.


The incident occurred over the weekend following a reported argument between the couple.


When Benue Info-pedia visited the hospital, the victim was said to be in no condition to speak.


Neighbours alleged that Mr. Fasasi, now declared wanted by the police, had a history of assaulting his wife. They said the latest dispute arose after Mrs. Fasasi, a mother of four, informed her husband she was pregnant again. He allegedly insisted that the pregnancy be terminated.


One neighbour claimed the suspect offered his wife N5,000 to procure an abortion, but she refused. Under pressure, she reportedly took medication on her own, which led to complications and excessive bleeding.


“As soon as she started bleeding, he turned around and accused her of changing her mind. It’s not the first time he has beaten her, but she has been enduring in silence,” a neighbour said.


As of Monday, the whereabouts of the suspect remained unknown.
