 “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...

 Ekiti female gov aspirant unveils seven-point agenda


All Progressives Congress female governorship aspirant in Ekiti State, Abimbola Olawunmi, has unveiled a seven-point agenda aimed at rescuing, rebuilding, and restoring the state.


This is meant to be achieved through economic diversification, job creation, education revival, healthcare reform, and transparent governance.


During an interactive session with journalists in Abuja on Sunday, Olawunmi stated that her decision to contest for the governorship of Ekiti State stems from her love for the people and her conviction that the state deserves much better.


She decried the fact that, over the years, successive administrations led by career politicians have failed to fully harness the state’s abundant human and natural resources.


She stated, “This has left our youths disempowered, our economy underdeveloped, and our people struggling unnecessarily under the hardship that has been brought about to the state because of the intentional weaponisation of poverty in the state.


“So, I am motivated by the urgent need to rescue the state from this cycle of underdevelopment and mismanagement.


“I believe that leadership should not be about self-interest or personal gain, but about service to the people a service that is transparent, accountable, and transformative.


“So, my goal is to reposition Ekiti State to become the pride of every citizen of the state.


“So, we are looking at a way that we can bring such development to Ekiti State, and this is what is driving me, this is my motivation, that we want to rescue the state from this state of underdevelopment, bring about the restoration of our infrastructure in the state, and bring about development, empower our youth, empower even our career politicians.”


The Ekiti governorship hopeful pledged to prioritise the empowerment of the people, with a special focus on women and youths.


“I have a seven-point agenda,” she declared.
