 “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.

"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.

 Prince William calls 2024 the toughest year of his life

Prince William has described 2024 as the most difficult year of his life.

In an appearance on Eugene Levy’s show The Reluctant Traveler, the prince reflected on the challenges of the past year, during which both his wife, Kate, the Princess of Wales, and his father, King Charles III, underwent cancer treatment. “I’d say 2024 was the hardest year I’ve ever had,” William told Levy in a preview clip. “Life is said to test us as well, and being able to overcome that is what makes us who we are.”

The episode, set to air on Oct. 3, shows William giving Levy a tour of Windsor Castle and sharing a conversation over a pint at a pub. Kate announced in January that her cancer is in remission, and she has since taken on more public duties. Earlier this month, she and William were prominent figures in the royal welcome for President Donald Trump’s U.K. state visit. King Charles has also returned to public duties after stepping back last year for treatment and recovery. Neither the king nor the princess has disclosed the type of cancer they were treated for.
