 “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.

 Jay Cutler begins jail sentence for DUI 

Former NFL quarterback Jay Cutler has reported to a Tennessee jail to begin serving a DUI sentence. Cutler was booked into Williamson County Jail on Monday morning and is expected to remain there until Friday.

Last month, Cutler pleaded guilty to one count of misdemeanor DUI and was sentenced to four days in jail. In addition to his time behind bars, he was ordered to pay a $350 fine, complete one year of supervised probation, attend a DUI safety class, and have his Tennessee driver’s license revoked for one year.

The charges stem from an October 17, 2024, traffic incident in Franklin, Tennessee, when Cutler was accused of showing signs of intoxication after rear-ending another vehicle. Authorities reported that he appeared intoxicated at the scene, with bloodshot eyes and slurred speech. Cutler was also sued by the other driver, Perry Lee, who claimed he sustained injuries in the accident and continues to experience daily pain. Neither Cutler nor his attorney has publicly commented on the matter.
