 “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.

VIETNAMESE MAN SETS RECORD WITH FINGERNAILS OVER 19 FEET LONG. (PHOTO)



Vietnamese man sets record with fingernails over 19 feet long

A Vietnamese man has set a Guinness World Record for the longest fingernails on a pair of hands (male), with a combined length of 19 feet 6 inches. Lưu Công Huyền has not cut his nails in 30 years, making them longer than the height of an average adult giraffe.

Huyền explained that his fingernail growth began because of his father, who was a shaman. “I wanted to become a teacher, so I grew them to look more majestic,” he said. Although he eventually gave up his teaching ambitions at his father’s urging, he continued letting his nails grow. Huyền described trimming them as mentally and physically exhausting, saying it would feel uncomfortable to cut them.

Maintaining such long nails requires constant care. Huyền said they must be kept dry, as exposure to water can soften them and cause them to break. In crowded areas, he must be vigilant to prevent accidental damage. Even routine tasks, such as climbing scaffolding for work, require deliberate and careful movements to protect his record-setting nails.
