 “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.

OXFORD DEBATING SOCIETY REMOVES PRESIDENT FOLLOWING REMARKS ABOUT CHARLIE KIRK . (PHOTOS).


Oxford debating society removes president following remarks about Charlie Kirk 


The Oxford Union debating society has voted to remove President-elect George Abaraonye following reports that he celebrated the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk. More than two-thirds of the society, one of Britain’s oldest, supported the no-confidence motion, resulting in Abaraonye’s ouster.

The controversy stems from social media posts in which Abaraonye reportedly wrote, “Charlie Kirk got shot loool” on Instagram and shared similar messages on WhatsApp. Abaraonye and Kirk had previously met in May for a debate on toxic masculinity. Following the revelations, Abaraonye faced racial and online abuse, which the Oxford Union condemned while also moving forward with disciplinary proceedings.

Abaraonye had called for the no-confidence vote himself, anticipating he would survive the two-thirds threshold, and he is now contesting the outcome, claiming that opponents had “unsupervised access” to the email handling proxy votes. In a deleted Instagram post, he framed the vote as an example of the Union being a place to make mistakes and learn from them. Meanwhile, another no-confidence vote is scheduled for Thursday for outgoing Oxford Union President Moosa Harraj, amid claims that he oversaw a compromised voting process against Abaraonye.
