 “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...

 LASG REFUTES SALARY DEDUCTION CLAIMS BY NMA


… Says No Deliberate Reduction Took Place


The Lagos State Government has stated that there was no deliberate reduction or deduction in the salaries of medical and dental doctors, as recently claimed by the Lagos State chapter of the Nigerian Medical Association (NMA). 


In a statement issued on Tuesday, the Honourable Commissioner for Establishments and Training, Mr. Afolabi Ayantayo, explained that the brief discrepancies in payments were due to administrative adjustments aimed at aligning salaries with the actual entitlements of medical and dental doctors under a more transparent and accurate remuneration structure.


"At no point did the State Government deliberately reduce or deduct salaries. What was observed was part of an internal process to ensure that doctors receive exactly what is due to them, based on agreed terms. All affected doctors have now been fully refunded,” the Commissioner said.


He further stated that moving forward, the salaries medical and dental doctors receive will reflect the final agreement between the Lagos State Government and the Medical Guild. This, he emphasised, brings clarity and stability to the payment structure and ensures that doctors continue to enjoy competitive compensation.


Mr. Ayantayo also reaffirmed that medical and dental doctors in Lagos remain the highest paid in Nigeria’s public healthcare system, and the government has gone beyond the Guild's demands in certain areas, including timely and consistent payment of salaries; continued investment in health sector infrastructure and capacity-building initiatives.


The Lagos State Government reiterates its commitment to the welfare of all public servants, particularly healthcare professionals who serve on the frontlines. The government values its relationship with professional associations and remains open to continued dialogue.


The State urges the NMA and other stakeholders to focus on constructive engagement, rather than public statements that may mislead or cause concern among health workers and the general public.
