 “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...

 Rush announces reunion tour five years after drummer Neil Peart’s death

Five years after the passing of their iconic drummer and lyricist, Neil Peart, the legendary Canadian rock band Rush has announced a long-awaited reunion tour. Founding members Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson revealed plans for a 12-date, seven-city tour set for summer 2026. The tour will begin in June at the Kia Forum in Los Angeles, the same venue where the band performed their final concert in 2015, and conclude in Cleveland that September. Stops will also include Mexico City, Fort Worth, Chicago, New York, and Toronto, offering fans across North America a chance to see Rush perform together once more.

Joining Lee and Lifeson on drums will be acclaimed German composer and producer Anika Nilles, who has previously toured with Jeff Beck. “It’s been over 10 years since Alex and I have performed the music of Rush alongside our fallen bandmate and friend Neil,” Lee shared in a statement. “We could not be more excited to introduce Anika to our fanbase, who we know will give her every chance to live up to that near impossible role.” The duo also hinted that additional musicians may join the lineup for select performances. Earlier this year, Rush released Rush 50, a career-spanning greatest hits collection that concluded with the final songs they played live in 2015. Their 2026 “Fifty Something” tour is being described as both a celebration of the band’s 50-year legacy and a tribute to Peart’s unmatched artistry. In a joint statement, Peart’s widow, Carrie Nuttall-Peart, and daughter, Olivia Peart, said they were “thrilled” to see Rush honor his legacy, adding that this next chapter “promises to be truly unforgettable.”
