 “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.

 EFCC Arrests Six for Alleged Land Fraud in Uyo


Operatives of the Uyo Zonal Directorate of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) have arrested six suspected members of a land fraud syndicate for allegedly defrauding their victim of the sum of ₦6,000,000.00 (Six Million Naira) in Uyo, Akwa Ibom State.


The suspects are; Enobong Clement Etim(aka Edet Nsem Udo), Iniakop Okot,  Emmanuel Edet,  Essien Edet Aniedi, Christopher Anthony and Edwin Etim.


They were arrested at different locations in Akwa Ibom State, following claims of a petitioner, Aniekan Etukudo Koffi that alleged that the prime suspect, Enobong Clement Etim,  used a pseudo name, and along with his accomplices,  defrauded him of the said sum in a bogus land transaction involving a parcel of land located at Ifa Ikot Ubo, Ifa Ikot Okpon–Etoi in Uyo Local Government Area of the State.


 The petitioner alleged that he was introduced to the prime suspect and his gang in July 2025 through a member of the syndicate who claimed access to a prime parcel of land which, according to them, was up for sale. The petitioner said he was taken to the said piece of land for inspection, and was eventually shown some forged documents by the arrested suspects. 


Relying on their offer which he eventually found to be fraudulent, the petitioner allegedly paid ₦6,000,000.00 to the alleged fraudsters, with an initial transfer of ₦4,000,000.00 into a UBA Account Number: 1027675758 belonging to the prime suspect. 


Preliminary investigations have shown that the said piece of land does not belong to Enobong Clements Etim or any member of the syndicate, and that the petitioner was defrauded of the sum of ₦6,000,000.00.


Efforts are still ongoing to apprehend other accomplices and recover the petitioner’s funds.


The suspects will be charged to court soon.
