 “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.

INDIA: A 23-YEAR-OLD MAN HAS BEEN CAUGHT POSING AS A DOCTOR AT SILCHAR MEDICAL COLLEGE AND HOSPITAL (SMCH). (PHOTO).


 A 23-year-old man has been caught posing as a doctor at Silchar Medical College and Hospital (SMCH). 

The accused, identified as Mir Hussain Ahmed Barbhuiya from Ganirgram Part II, was working as a fake gynaecologist in the hospital’s outpatient department. Officials said he had been treating patients since August 29.


SMCH principal Dr. Bhaskar Gupta told The Assam Tribune that Barbhuiya’s presence in the gynaecology department raised doubts among staff. After suspicion grew, the hospital authorities informed the police. Soon after, he was taken into custody.


Cachar Senior Superintendent of Police Numal Mahatta said Barbhuiya even bought a stethoscope online to make himself look like a real doctor. He added that police are taking the matter seriously and strict action will be taken, as directed by the Chief Minister and the state DGP.


This is not the first such incident in Silchar. Just last month, another fake doctor was caught at Shiv Sundari Nari Shikshasram. The rise in such cases has worried Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma, who urged the public to remain alert and report anyone pretending to be a doctor.
