 “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.

 BENUE GOVT PROBES VIRAL VIDEO OF MUSICIAN PERFORMING INDECENT SONG BEFORE STUDENTS


7th October, 2025   


The Benue State Bureau for Education Quality Assurance (BEQA) has commenced an investigation into a viral video showing a musician, identified as Egyptian Cairo, performing a song with indecent lyrics before students in a school.


In a statement issued on Tuesday, the Director General of BEQA, Dr. Terna Francis, confirmed that preliminary findings traced the incident to Foundation College, Abeda Shitile, in Benue State.


Dr. Francis described the performance as a “serious violation of ethical and moral standards” expected within learning environments, stressing that such acts undermine the principles of quality assurance in education.


 “While we acknowledge the importance of holistic education across cognitive, affective, and psychomotor domains — including creative expressions such as music — vulgarity, indecency, and immorality have no place in our schools and will not be tolerated under any guise,” the statement read in part.


He appealed for calm, assuring the public that a full-scale investigation is underway to determine the circumstances surrounding the incident. According to him, the Bureau’s findings will be forwarded to the Commissioner for Education and Knowledge Management for appropriate administrative action.


Dr. Francis reaffirmed BEQA’s commitment to promoting moral discipline and academic excellence in all schools across the state, in line with Governor Hyacinth Alia’s vision for a value-driven education system.
